Golden Metal Cage Chandelier with Blue Drop Glass Beads and Amethyst.
This cage chandelier features a golden metal structure with each scroll and curl covered in strung glass beads — the beaded technique beloved by the Baguès House. Turquoise blue and amethyst blown glass drops are suspended among the strands of faceted beads, while the arms are adorned with scalloped glass corollas. A faceted crystal ball serves as a finial, with a golden leaf-patterned rosette crown completing the piece. This Italian work from the 1950s is part of the great tradition of beaded chandeliers popularized by the Baguès House, whose Italian workshops interpreted the vocabulary with a distinctly Mediterranean chromatic flair. Condition report: Overall good condition. Beading is complete upon photographic examination, colored drops in apparent good condition, patinated gilding. Electricity checked by an electrician. A precious and poetic chandelier, a jewel for a bedroom, boudoir, or refined entrance.
