A STAMPED BACCARAT TWISTED GLASS COLUMN LAMP
A STAMPED BACCARAT TWISTED GLASS COLUMN LAMP
France, circa 1940
A mid century Baccarat clear glass column lamp of twisted spiral form, stamped Baccarat to the base.
Louis XV founded Baccarat in 1764 in the well-known glassmaking district of Lorraine. The Royal name behind the company made their glassware luxurious and desirable. In 1823, Louis XVIII commissioned a full service for the Tuileries Palace.
In 1832, Baccarat opened their first shop in Paris at 30 rue de Paradis and attracted the elite of Paris and the city’s visitors with its opulent crystal candelabras and chandeliers. Their work led them to win awards at the National Exhibition of Industrial Products.
At the turn of the century, Baccarat accepted a large commission for the Tsar of Russia, which was followed by endless commissions from Russia and, in time, other Eastern countries such as Japan. In the 1920s, Baccarat was joined by the young Georges Chevalier, whose love of crystal and timeless designs brought Baccarat into the modern age. Fashion houses such as Guerlain and Christian Dior began to seek Baccarat’s designs for their perfume bottles.
Throughout the twentieth century Baccarat completed commissions for celebrities and royalty. They employed well-known designers and artists to complete special commissions. In 2003, the mansion of Marie-Laure de Noailles was transformed into La Maison Baccarat, a veritable museum of the company’s work throughout their long history. After 250 years, Baccarat is still synonymous with luxury and style.
