Large Maison Baguès French designed cast bronze and Alabaster table lamp
About the Item
A large and impressive Maison Baguès classic French designed cast oil rubbed bronze and Alabaster centrepiece table or side lamp.
A superb and finely crafted original contemporary centrepiece table light created by the esteemed French designers and lighting manufacturers Maison Baguès, in what can only be described as a modern classical style. The cubist form is enhanced by the decorative element of the Alabaster shade that becomes translucent when lit, but also when placed in sunlight. This creates not only a beautiful diffused glow, as can be seen in the accompanying photographs, but also becomes a piece of art in its own right as it displays the complex figuring and grain in the Alabaster panels.
It’s a wonderfully heavy and solid piece with the oil rubbed cast bronze base adding considerable gravitas that exudes quality and style. This light was originally designed in 2010 and is currently still made to order in different sizes and finishes. This is the largest version of the light and currently retails at over £9,200 per piece.
The light is in very good condition and shows light traces of use with just a few minor marks to the shade and base along the main edges. It is fitted with a dimmer switch so that the light intensity can be suited to your requirements; it also benefits from having the maker’s name imprinted into the frame as shown.

Maison Baguès
Since its establishment in 1860, the Maison Baguès has been an emblem of French sophistication in luxury lighting design. Each piece the firm makes is hand-assembled using traditional techniques in order to emphasize the elegance and excellence of their detailed artisanal work. Still the epitome of savoir-faire, Maison Baguès’ luxurious pieces are prized for their craftsmanship, beauty and harmony.
The master metalsmith Noël 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 Noël’s son Eugène and grandsons Victor and Robert, Maison Baguès continued to progress, adding intricately detailed iron lighting collections in the 1920s as well as stair banisters, gates and accessory tables.
Baguès began selling internationally in the interwar period, expanding the company’s operation to New York, Rome and Cairo. Noted for their high-end handcrafted work, such as complex carved sconces and hand-strung crystal chandeliers, Maison Baguès appealed to an elite clientele. While Baguès’ Art Deco crystal lighting fixtures drew the most attention, the company was also known for bespoke metalwork that drew commissions from important interior designers and decorating firms such as Maison Jansen and Raymond Subes. The idiosyncratic genius Armand-Albert Rateau used Maison Baguès accessories to decorate the interiors of Jeanne Lanvin’s town home in 1928. Maison Baguès products have also been featured in luxury hotels like Paris's George V and the Savoy in London.
Today, Maison Baguès continues its history of delicate, detailed work and devotes much of its enterprise to preserving the company’s heritage through restoration. Their efforts are worth it. As you will see on 1stDibs, Maison Baguès remains the last word in classic French lighting and metalwork.

- Large Vintage Robert Heritage Mid Century Teak, Afromosia and Sapele sideboardBy Robert Heritage, Archie ShineLocated in Highclere, NewburyA very large Vintage Mid Century Teak, Afromosia and Sapele Knighstbridge sideboard/credenza designed by Robert Heritage for Archie Shine. Standing at just over 244cm in length the Knightsbridge really was the Grand Daddy of all Heritage’s amazing sideboards; not to mention the combination of wood that gave it a wonderfully aesthetic appeal. It’s therefore a long sideboard that would naturally suit a large room or hallway. The drawer section is ribbed Afromosia (which is a harder African teak variant with a richer darker colour) whereas the main cupboard and top section is a more traditional golden teak. But in addition, Heritage has finished the main doors off in Sapele which is a lighter cross cut Mahogany variant that creates a ribbon grain effect as it catches the light – the doors can therefore look lighter or darker in colour as you walk around the piece. As regards storage, there’s a lot on offer. The sideboard has 4 large drawers with beautifully detailed handles and with stylised ribbed fronts – and then there are two sets of doors which reveal two large two tier storage...Category
