Pair of Golden Metal Wall Sconces with Engraved Mirrors and Decorations. French Work.
Each wall sconce takes the shape of a tapered cone dressed with an engraved mirror featuring floral decoration, crowned with a bouquet of glass beads and golden metal leaves. At the base, two golden metal arms extend in opposing curves, adorned with a central leafy ornament, corolla-shaped candle holders, and faceted pendants; the sockets are wrapped like dripping candles. The combination of the engraved mirror, golden metal, and beaded flowers is one of the signatures of the Baguès House, a famous Parisian lighting company whose naturalistic and precious vocabulary has captivated the greatest decorators, even appealing to neoclassical tastes across the Atlantic. Condition report: Overall good condition. Gilding slightly patinated by time, mirrors and beads well preserved, possible micro-scratches on the surface. A refined pair that will poetically adorn a bedroom, hallway, or living room.
