Description:
An outstanding pair of crystal and bronzed metal twelve branch flower-head and foliate design chandeliers. attributed to the the house of Bagues, Paris, circa 1950. Founded in Auvergne, France, in 1840 by Nicolas Bagues, the company originally specialized in the creation of liturgical bronzes. Thanks to Bagues' 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 Bagues began exporting to London, New York, Rome, Brussels, and Cairo. Along with a major expansion in 1920, the company introduced to the world their now signature collections of finely crafted iron, gilt and crystal chandeliers and wall sconces Parrots & Foliage. These spectacular chandeliers are based on a cascading mass- flowerhead design, topped with decorative coronets of crystal flowers. The bronze frames are decorated with gently curved and slender leaves, and the faceted crystal balls of each are of the highest quality, and to find a pair is extremely rare. Dimensions: approximately 100 cm wide and 95 cm high
