A striking and most charming true pair of French turn of the century Louis XVI st. gilt metal and rock crystal sconces by Maison Bagues. Each one arm sconce is centered by an exceptional urn shaped rock crystal element with fine mottled designs where the beautiful wonderfully executed parrot is perched above. The single arm branches out with lovely scrolled movements adorned with lovely branch like designs with rock crystal leaves leading to a circular mottled bobeche and striking cut crystal candle cup. Maison Bagues Founded in Auvergne, France, in 1840 by Nicolas Baguès, the company originally specialized in the creation of liturgical bronzes. Thanks to Baguès’ expansion into bronze lighting and the popularization of electricity, the business quickly found success. At the turn of the century, their chandeliers captured international interest, and soon Baguès began exporting to London, New York, Rome, Brussels, and Cairo. The company is best known for introducing to the world their now signature collections of finely crafted iron, gilt, and crystal chandeliers and wall sconces Parrots & Foliage. — Read Less
