Maison Bagués

Maison Bagués is a French decorative arts manufacturer founded in Paris in 1840, specialising in ornamental bronzework, chandeliers, and furniture hardware. Over nearly two centuries, the house built a reputation for exceptional metalwork — gilded bronze, wrought iron, and brass — used in lighting fixtures and furniture of extraordinary elaboration.

Their pieces combined French neoclassical and Art Deco vocabulary with a level of craft that placed them in palaces, grand hotels, and important private collections across Europe and beyond. Antique Bagués chandeliers and wall lights are among the most collectible examples of high French decorative work from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries — objects where artistic ambition and technical mastery are inseparable.
