The first book on the house of Baccarat, one of the oldest and most preeminent luxury brands in the world, renowned for its fine crystal creations. Baccarat celebrates more than 250 years as one of the most important and prestigious luxury houses.

With beautiful historic photographs and drawings from Baccarat's extensive archive, which display the incredible craftsmanship and technical innovations of the highly skilled glassblowers, glasscutters, engravers, and gilders, and captivating images from its advertising campaigns and celebrity clientele, Baccarat is a sumptuous celebration. Offering a lavish and in-depth look at some of the most stunning crystal creations in history, this volume is for anyone interested in design and craftsmanship.
