Delmas
Delmas Luminaires is a lighting company from Montauban, France founded in 1976. The Delmas company produced many lamps in all kind of styles. From classic to modern.
Lamps with a label from Delmas are often attributed to Disderot, another French company (see below). Disderot never used a label with a D.
The company no longer exists. It was liquidated in 2003.
