Pair of Bagues Style 'Tree of Life' Silvered Rock Crystal Sconces/Wall Applique

Description

Pair of Bagues style “Tree of Life” silvered rock crystal sconces or wall appliques, constructed with branching silvered metal frameworks rising from faceted rock crystal vase form bases. Each sconce is mounted with carved rock crystal leaves secured by silvered prongs, arranged along scrolling branches terminating in faceted rock crystal flowerheads. The floral elements are formed with radiating petal shaped crystals centered by molded crystal rosettes. Lower sections incorporate silvered metal candle cups with petal form collars suspended with faceted rock crystal drops and molded crystal spacers. Additional flower clusters and pendant drops are arranged throughout the framework, creating a layered composition of carved and faceted crystal elements. The sconces are executed in the style of Maison Baguès, known for naturalistic lighting forms incorporating crystal foliage and floral motifs. The surfaces display a silvered finish throughout the metal structure, contrasting with the translucent carved rock crystal leaves and clear faceted crystal pendants. The carved leaves are detailed with incised central veins and angled branch lines, while the faceted pendants and flower petals are cut in varied forms including teardrop and oval shapes. We can also supply you with multiples of these, sets of 4- sets of 8. Maison Baguès produced lighting fixtures of this type during the mid 1900s, often combining silvered metal frameworks with rock crystal and glass ornamentation. These sconces follow that production style through their symmetrical branching structure, floral arrangements, and use of suspended crystal drops integrated into the scrolling metal framework.
