About the Item

This pair of French Bagues style electrified wall sconces of carved and gilded wood features mirror image parrots flanked by two scrolled arms adorned with leaves supporting a candle cup, and date circa 1920. The firm of Maison Bagues is famous the world over for the sheer luxury, creativity and inventiveness of its products. Beginning in the nineteenth century they specialized in creating the highest quality bronze lighting fixtures as the spread of electricity became widespread both commercially and privately. The firm continues to offer an exceptional range of traditional lighting pieces today from their headquarters in Paris. This particular pair of sconces is the notable "Perroquets" or parrots example of the Maison Bagues created during the 1920s by brothers Victor and Robert Bagues. The best known examples were made of gilded bronze or with crystal overlay. The desirability of the pictured pair results from their rare appearance in carved and gilded wood that possesses the combination of facing parrots perched atop a slender column with a pair of naturalistic branches adorned with leaves supporting a pair of candle arms. The entire finish on each of the sconces is the original paint and gilding that gives them a subtle sparkle. The whimsy of the design is as potent today as when they were first offered and continues to make them a special focal point wherever they are placed! Price includes standard electrification! circa 1920 Each measures 24 H x 13 W x 4 D.
