Louis XVI "Marie-Antoinette" Style Gilt Bronze and Crystal Chandelier, Maison Baguès Style, c. 1920

This elegant Louis XVI style "Marie-Antoinette" chandelier perfectly combines the elegance of chased and gilded bronze with the purity of crystal. Its twelve lights, comprising nine candle arms and three concealed lights within crystal drop garlands, are enhanced by a cut crystal stem. Six cut crystal daggers, adorned with plaques, olive drops, beads, faceted crystals, and rosettes, complete the refined decoration. A faceted crystal ball, understated yet luminous, crowns the piece.

In the manner of Maison Baguès, this chandelier embodies French craftsmanship, where the luxury of materials meets the mastery of bronze and crystal.

Notes History of Maison Baguès:

Founded in 1840 by Noël Baguès, this Parisian house specializes in luxury lighting and perpetuates traditional techniques such as chasing, gold leaf gilding, and crystal setting. Its creations, featured in prestigious locations, blend historical model re-editions with contemporary innovations. Since 1995, its workshop at the Viaduc des Arts in Paris has embodied this artisanal heritage.
