Baccarat
The House of Baccarat
In 1764 King Louis XV authorised the founding of a glassworks in the village of Baccarat, in Lorraine in eastern France. Crystal has been made there since 1816, and for more than two centuries its artisans have practised glassblowing, cutting, engraving and gilding by hand. Several of them hold the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France, the country's highest distinction for craftsmanship.
Baccarat crystal has lit palaces and dressed royal tables around the world. Its icons include the Harcourt glass, created in 1841, the Massena service and the great chandeliers that made the Maison's name. Contemporary designers keep writing new chapters: Philippe Starck with his reinterpretations of the Zénith chandelier and of the Talleyrand collection, and Marcel Wanders, whose New Antique collection gained new pieces for the Maison's 260th anniversary.
