Baguès Frères were noted for their production of a wide variety of luxurious lighting and were especially well known for their spare, contemporary interpretations of period styles, particularly Louis XVI, using fountains, fruit, flowers, animals and even a galleon as subjects (see lot 339). Their preferred media, well illustrated in this example, was clear or opalescent glass set in rich contrast with silvered or gilt metalwork.

A stylistically close chandelier by Baguès was sold 'The Light' Christie's, London, 10 May 2000, lot 97 (£15,275 incl.).
