William Drummond was a prominent Prairie School architect who apprenticed under Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1900s. He designed this light fixture for the Ralph S. Baker house in Wilmette, Illinois in 1914 and used variations on the design throughout the Baker house as well as his own home. It bears resemblance to fixtures found in Frank Lloyd Wright's Coonley and Robie residences, built in 1908 and 1909, respectively.
