Very elegant pair of "appliques au perroquet" sconces by Maison Baguès, Paris
About the Item
Very elegant pair of "appliques au perroquet" sconces by Maison Baguès, Paris, ca. 1950. Cut Glass and Gilt metal, electrified
French luxury lighting atelier Maison Baguès was launched in Paris in 1860.
Under founding metalsmith Nöel Baguès’s direction, Maison Baguès began as a specialist in liturgical bronze candlesticks. By the 1920’s, Maison Baguès’s collections included gilded iron fixtures—the iconic Parrots & Foliage hand-strung crystal chandeliers and complexly carved wall sconces —as well as metal gates, accent tables, and stair bannisters (which still adorn Parisian locales like the Porte Dorée and the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées).
Delicate and detailed, Maison Baguès’s bespoke designs and metalwork attracted the social elite. In 1928, eminent décorateur Armand-Albert Rateau famously used a selection of Maison Baguès accessories to furnish the townhouse interiors of haute couturist Jeanne Lanvin. Beyond Rateau, the atelier was commissioned by many chic interiors icons like Raymond Subes and the legendary decorating firm Maison Jansen. Notably, the Maison Jansen collaboration underscores the majority of Maison Baguès’s design on today’s vintage market, where the atelier’s pieces, seldom marked or labeled with the Baguès name, are often advertised as “supplied by Jansen” or “Jansen Style.”
On the heels of such collaborations, Baguès continued in the interwar period to expand into the international consciousness and market, culminating in the establishment of retail branches in New York, Cairo, London, Brussels, and Rome. The atelier experienced a brief hiccup amid the Great Depression, passing into the hands of bankers, before Victor Baguès’s son, Jean-Pierre, repurchased the company in 1957 and revived its collection with new work. Standouts from this later oeuvre include the Perroquet gilt-metal sconces with cut crystal elements;
