At half height a balustrade like composition gives this chandelier its own special architecture and which is echoed in a smaller balustrade at the lower end of the chandelier surrounding the final large facetted crystal glass globe. The whole surmounted by spray adornment draped with facetted crystals. Since its establishment in 1860, the Maison Baguès has been an emblem of French sophistication in luxury lighting design. The master metalsmith Noel Baguès founded the company as specialists in liturgical bronzes, but by 1880 the company had expanded into the production of bronze light fixtures in response to the development of electrical lighting. Carried on by Noel’s son Eugène and grandsons Victor and Robert, Maison Baguès continued to progress. Noted for their high end hand crafted work, such as complex carved sconces and hand-strung crystal chandeliers, Maison Baguès appealed to an elite clientele. Its products have been featured in luxury hotels like Paris's George V and the Savoy in London.
