This Hollywood Regency-style floor lamp evokes the characteristic glamour of Maison Baguès’ creations. Its gold-plated metal frame stands out for the quality of its finish and an elegant shaft that mimics bamboo canes, one of the most iconic decorative motifs of mid-20th-century French design.Its design, striking a balance between classic elegance and exoticism, makes it ideal for Regency-, neoclassical-, or eclectic-inspired interiors.
Founded in Auvergne, France, in 1840 by Nicolas Baguès, the company initially specialized in the creation of liturgical bronzes. Thanks to Baguès’s expansion into bronze lighting and the widespread adoption of electricity, the business quickly achieved success. At the turn of the century, its candelabras captured international interest, and Baguès soon began exporting to London, New York, Rome, Brussels, and Cairo. Along with a major expansion in 1920, the company introduced its now-iconic “Parrots & Foliage” collections of finely crafted candelabras and wall sconces—featuring iron, gilded finishes, and crystal—to the world.
