Pair of Herons in Silver Plate

This piece, pair of herons in silver plate, illustrates the Neoclassical style characteristic of French craftsmanship from the 1950 period. Pair of Herons in Silver Plate. Attribué with la Maison Baguès. Circa 1940.

Maison Baguès, founded in 1840 in Paris, became in the 20th century the reference for high-end French lighting and brass furniture. Known for its rock crystal chandeliers and faux-bamboo brass furniture, Maison Baguès collaborated with the greatest decorators of the time (Jansen, Adnet, Royère) and adorned the finest Parisian residences. Their creations are distinguished by the finesse of brasswork and the purity of the Neoclassical style.

The Neoclassical ornamental vocabulary — openwork galleries, pure lines, geometric motifs — gives this piece a presence that is both refined and statuesque. The rigor of the proportions and the quality of the materials make it a timeless object, perfectly suited to a classic or contemporary interior. The Neoclassical style, inherited from revisited Antiquity, has never ceased to inspire the great French houses.

With its dimensions of 7.87 in wide, 6.3 in deep, 11.42 in tall, this piece will naturally find its place in a sophisticated interior. It will sublimate a living room, library or office, whether classic or contemporary. An ideal choice for lovers of fine antiques and refined decoration. Good general condition.
