Pair of Bird Wall Sconces
Attributed to Maison Baguès
France, Circa 1940
A pair of two-light bird wall sconces in gilt metal and glass foliage, attributed to Maison Baguès, circa 1940. On each sconce, a finely chased gilt-metal crested bird is perched atop a fluted, tapered shaft, its long tail cascading gracefully. Entwined around it are branches laden with molded glass leaves and florets, whose silvery reflections contrast with the gilding. To either side, two stem-shaped light arms rise, terminating in corolla-cut bobèches. Conceived as a mirrored pair, the two sconces form an ensemble that is both naturalistic and richly decorative. This signature repertoire of birds, foliage, and glass pendants established the renown of Maison Baguès, the celebrated Parisian name in decorative lighting whose creations adorned the private mansions and grand residences of the mid-20th century. These sconces will bring a warm glow and a poetic touch to a living room, bedroom, or entrance hall, complementing both classic and contemporary interiors. Wired for electricity.
