History of Maison Baguès:

Founded in 1840 by Noël Baguès, Maison Baguès is a French company specializing in the creation of luxury lighting. Initially focused on liturgical bronzes, it evolved into producing bronze lighting with the advent of electricity under the direction of Eugène Baguès. Over the decades, the company enriched its collections with wrought iron creations and designs inspired by period models, notably through the efforts of Victor and Robert Baguès.

Renowned for its artisanal craftsmanship, Maison Baguès employs traditional techniques such as chiseling, ironwork, gilding, and crystal setting. Its creations adorn prestigious locations worldwide, and the brand has collaborated with renowned decorators and architects. In 1995, it established its showroom and workshop at the Viaduc des Arts in Paris, continuing its artisanal legacy.

Today, Maison Baguès continues to reissue its iconic models while innovating with contemporary designs, asserting its position as one of the last art lighting manufacturers in France.
