A pair of Regency style attr. Maison Baguès three branch wall sconce or wall lights, each with splays of flowerheads on top, its back plate issuing three S-shaped candle arms hang with drops and beautifully arranged crystal flowers.
Since its establishment in 1860, the Maison Baguès has been an emblem of French sophistication in luxury lighting design. The master metalsmith Noel Baguès founded the company as specialists in liturgical bronzes, but by 1880 the company had expanded into the production of bronze light fixtures in response to the development of electrical lighting. Carried on by Noel’s son Eugène and grandsons Victor and Robert, Maison Baguès continued to progress. Noted for their high end handcrafted work, such as complex carved sconces and hand-strung crystal chandeliers, Maison Baguès appealed to an elite clientele. Its products have been featured in luxury hotels like Paris’ George V, and the Savoy in London. There is a further, nearly identical pair of Maison Baguès wall sconce available.
