Twisted Cage Chandelier in Gilt Bronze and Cut Crystal by Maison Baguès, c. 1920

 

Description:
This twisted cage chandelier, combining gilt bronze and cut crystal, embodies early 20th-century French elegance. Its six light arms radiate from a twisted central stem, adorned with refined cut-crystal details. Undoubtedly attributed to Maison Baguès, this iconic model—still reissued today—showcases the atelier’s timeless craftsmanship.

 

Historical Context:
Manufactured circa 1920, this chandelier reflects the French art lighting tradition, where bronze and crystal unite to honor Maison Baguès’ legacy. Founded in 1840, the house evolved from liturgical bronzes to wrought-iron creations under Eugène, Victor, and Robert Baguès.

 

Dimensions:

Height: 29½ in (75 cm)

Diameter: 23⅝ in (60 cm)

 

Condition:
In fine original condition, retaining its gilded patina. Wired to European standards; adaptation to American standards available upon request.

 

History of Maison Baguès:

Founded in 1840 by Noël Baguès.
Specializing in luxury lighting, Maison Baguès preserves traditional techniques (chasing, gold leaf gilding, crystal setting). Its creations, featured in prestigious venues, blend historic reissues with contemporary designs. Since 1995, its Viaduc des Arts workshop in Paris upholds this legacy.
