“Nef” Chandelier
Attributed to Maison Baguès
France, Circa 1930
A rare Art Deco “Nef” chandelier in crystal and metal, attributed to Maison Baguès and crafted in Paris circa 1930. These boat- or nef-shaped chandeliers rank among the most iconic and sought-after creations of the celebrated lighting house, active since the 19th century. Set upon a delicate metal armature, hundreds of crystal elements trace the complete silhouette of the vessel: beads, florets, prisms, and drops form the hull, the mast, and the two wind-filled sails. When illuminated, the chandelier seems to sail within a halo of shimmering reflections. Featuring four lights, it is illuminated by two light arms on either side of the hull, making the crystal sparkle vibrantly from every angle. As much an enchanting decorative object as a functional light fixture, this ship chandelier will bring poetry and character to a study, bedroom, living room, or library. It will delight Art Deco connoisseurs and maritime enthusiasts alike.
