BIOGRAPHY
Art light creator, Baguès was founded by Noël Baguès around 1840 in Auvergne. Specialized in liturgical bronzes, the company grew at the end of the 19th century and started to make lighting bronzes, thanks to the generalization of electricity. In the 1920s, Baguès created his own models in fine ironwork.
