About the Item
An exquisite and radiant Large French Crystal and Ruby Glass Chandelier in the manner of Maison Baguès. This striking large unusual piece is adorned with a stunning array of faceted crystal, ruby-colored glass, and intricately beaded garlands that reflect both artistry and sophistication.
The design begins with a graceful corona composed of prismatic glass rods, elegantly bordered by strands of ruby and clear crystal beads. From this crown descends a slender baluster shaft, beautifully draped in cascading rows of faceted octagonal drops, establishing a dazzling sense of verticality and rhythm.
Symmetrical festoons formed from square and oval medallions—each showcasing a finely cut central plaque framed in ruby and clear beadwork—add a lyrical, botanical charm, a hallmark of Maison Baguès. Ruby glass pendants suspended throughout bring a rich, jewel-toned brilliance that enhances the chandelier’s vibrant presence.
The central body opens into a broad, shallow conical basket of crystal bead strands, tapering gracefully toward a perimeter ring of vertically mounted, cut-glass prisms. Just beneath, a continuous garland of oval and round plaques bordered by delicate beadwork and accented with ruby glass drops introduces depth and color to the composition. Finely crafted rosette mounts, each with ruby glass centers and intricate lace-like beaded surrounds, provide a refined sculptural detail.
The chandelier culminates in a luxuriously layered lower basket, featuring alternating tiers of daisy-form rosettes and icicle-shaped prisms, all drawing the eye downward to a beautifully faceted crystal sphere finial.
This chandelier exemplifies the exceptional artistry and refined style attributed to Maison Baguès in the early to mid-20th century. With its masterful use of wire-strung prisms, elegant floral motifs, and harmonious contrast of clear and ruby-colored glass, it stands as a luminous celebration of French decorative tradition—an extraordinary addition to the most discerning interiors.
