Bagues quickly became a word synonymous with exceptional quality and has since been a specialist in luxury lighting. The company developed its designs towards the end of the nineteenth century alongside advancements in electricity and bronze lighting. In the 1920s, Victor and Robert Bagues, the sons of the founder, extended the companies collection with some of their own designs in iron. The company also worked with renowned designers and decorators including Jansen, Raymond Subes and Armand Albert Rateau.
