Baccarat Crystal and Gilded Bronze Chandelier, France, circa 1890

About the Item

A very important thirty-five lights crystal and gilded bronze chandelier. The centered stem is made up of baluster-and-bowl-shaped cut-crystal pieces, all of very high-standard quality. Adorned with an elegant gilt bronze mount forming the light-arms, alternating bouquets of six and one, all decorated with climbing ivy. Below, thirty-eight beveled-sided knives form a star, from which descends a bel. Richly adorned with finely cut crystal pendants, prisms, myrzas and diamonds. The crystal manufacture of Baccarat, that dates back to the 18th century, was awarded its first medal at the 1823 « Exposition des Produits de l’Industrie » for the « brilliance and the sharpness of its crystal » and became then the most renowned French « cristallerie ». Baccarat was undoubtedly the only French manufacture, that exhibited steadily and magnificently its products at the various Universal Exhibitions. In all reports one can read about the « perfection of the material and of its cut ».
