About the Item

A fine French Baguès style silvered copper, cut rock crystal, and glass multi-light chandelier of great detail, embellished with cut rock crystal prisms and glass beads. The overall form features a central baluster stem, tiered and faceted, rising upward to support curved scrolling arms. Eight candle-form light branches extend outward, each fitted with white candle covers and mounted within silvered foliate drip pans. The arms are adorned with variously shaped rock crystal prisms, including pear-shaped, rectangular, and diamond-form drops. These are suspended from rosettes, flower-shaped mounts, and scrolling elements. The chandelier is further ornamented with elongated pendant drops and faceted round spacers, giving a varied arrangement of cut crystal pieces across its structure. The decoration extends across multiple levels, with rock crystal drops suspended from both the bobeches and the upper scrolling crest. The crest features open scrollwork terminating in leaf-shaped mounts, each hung with large teardrop and faceted pendants. The central stem is embellished with cut crystal sections and smaller prisms, reinforcing the vertical axis of the chandelier. The lower portion of the frame supports an arrangement of large, heavy pendants, with multiple overlapping drops creating a dense fringe around the circumference. Each arm is heavily draped with cut crystal drops, ensuring every section is ornamented with substantial rock crystal fittings. This chandelier follows the design tradition of Maison Baguès, the renowned French manufacturer known for elaborate lighting fixtures in the 19th and 20th centuries. Their work was distinguished by the use of rock crystal, silvered and gilt bronze mounts, and naturalistic floral and foliate ornament. The chandelier demonstrates techniques typical of Baguès, including the use of hand-cut rock crystal prisms, rosette connectors, and silvered scrolling arms designed to highlight the reflective and refractive qualities of crystal. The use of rock crystal, as opposed to glass, places it within the higher echelon of decorative lighting pieces produced in this style.
