Maison BAGUES, Important pair of Gilt Bronze Wall Candle Sconces
About the Item
Important and authentic XIXth century ( Napoleon III ) pair of gilt Bronze wall candle Sconces with 3 light holders a piece.
Dimensions:
Height: 30 1/4" Width: 13 3/8" Depth: 8"
Beautiful decor of ribbons and bobbles in the Louis XVI Style.
Bagues made a first version very comparable to this one at the end of XIXth century illustrated within the original photography displayed in the BAGUES archives.
The first version was titled "Applique n° 2786 ( H. 0,80 M L. 0,40 M ).
BAGUES was most likely inspired by the famous artist Francois REMOND who made a very similar model in the end of XVIII century within the king Louis XVI reign.
Francois REMOND built a wonderful model with Egyptian Caryatids (sculpted female figure serving as an architectural support taking the place of a column or a pillar) when he worked for the Art dealer Dominique DAGUERRE.
One pair of this model has been acquired for the Huntington Collection in San Marino, (illustrated in the book by R. Wark, French Decorative Art in the Huntington Collection, Pasadena, 1979, p.78, figure 99).
A second one belongs to the " Musée National du Château de Fontainebleau Collections", the sconces are exhibited in the emperor's private salon (J-P. Samoyault, Musée national du château de Fontainebleau, Catalogue des collections de mobilier, Paris, 1989, volume 1, p. 152, n° 129).
The last creation was quite different, with enameled blue vases. They are in the Wallace Collection in London (P. Hugues, The Wallace Collection, Catalog of Furniture III, London, 1996, p. 134-135, n° 247).
