Baccarat 1764: Two Hundred and Fifty Years by Laurence Benaim and Murray Moss, Evergreen Editions, 2013, hardcover, French language, 422 pages, Rizzoli collection New-York, ISBN 9780847841936, very good condition, no slipcase: the definitive work on the Baccarat crystal factory founded in 1764.

In 1764, King Louis XV authorized the creation of the Sainte-Anne Glassworks in Baccarat, Lorraine, by the Bishop of Metz, Louis-Joseph de Montmorency-Laval, and a master glassmaker from Saint-Louis. For 250 years, Baccarat has embodied the French art of living and captivated monarchs, heads of state, celebrities, and artists worldwide.

From the first service commissioned by Louis XVIII to the candelabras of Tsar Nicholas II and the exceptional pieces belonging to the maharajas, the factory radiates unparalleled prestige. The iconic Harcourt glass, created in 1841, still graces the finest tables. Tableware, vases, chandeliers, candelabras, jewelry, and perfume bottles celebrate beauty and perfection thanks to the expertise of glassmakers, cutters, engravers, and gilders.

Magnificent exclusive photographs and previously unpublished drawings from the archives offer a journey into the heart of the Baccarat universe, a symbol of excellence, French craftsmanship, and artistic collaborations.
