Baccarat Center Tables

French

One of the world’s foremost crystal manufacturers, Baccarat has long been emblematic of luxury and exquisite craftsmanship. Starting in the early 19th century, objects produced by the French company — from stemware to chandeliers to brightly colored paperweights — became a staple of noble and wealthy households across Europe and as far afield as India. Along with the purity and quality of their glass, Baccarat crystal makers can boast a remarkable fluency with a range of design styles — from cut-glass neoclassical pieces to sinuously etched Art Nouveau designs.

Baccarat began as a kind of industrial development project. In 1764, the Bishop of Metz and other landowners in heavily forested northeastern France persuaded Louis XV to sanction a glassworks in the area — timber being a key resource required for the furnaces used in glass production.

In its early years the company produced humble products such as window panes and simple drinking glasses. In 1816 a new owner began making crystal, and seven years later Louis XVIII — who had taken the throne after the defeat of Napoleon — gave Baccarat its first royal commission, for tableware. In the ensuing years, an estimated one-third of the company’s workforce was dedicated to commissions to the Russian imperial court alone.

Spurred by the intense competition between global industries in the latter 19th century — fought in public view in the many world expositions of the era — Compagnie des Cristalleries de Baccarat, as it had finally become known, elevated its level of artistry by adopting new technologies and creating a rigorous training program. The firm broadened its stylistic range, embracing Asian influences and new engraving methods, and increasing production of its now iconic millefiori paperweights.

The designer Georges Chevalier, who worked for Baccarat for more than five decades beginning in 1916, ushered the company into the realm of modernist design. In recent years, Baccarat has employed such renowned contemporary designers as Philippe Starck and Marcel Wanders, ensuring that Baccarat crystal will continue to enjoy pride of place on up-to-date tables. But as you will see from the offerings on these pages, Baccarat has items to suit any taste.

  • How do you identify an antique Baccarat?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify an antique Baccarat, search it for a capital "B" etched mark or a circular label that bears the Baccarat name along with a logo featuring a decanter, wine glass and cup. Vintage and contemporary pieces typically have the full Baccarat name etched onto their surfaces rather than the initial hallmark or paper label. If you can't locate a marking but are certain your piece is Baccarat, it is likely an antique that has lost its paper label. However, if you're not confident about the maker, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer help you make an identification. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Baccarat crystal wares.

  • What is so special about Baccarat crystal?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    A few things account for what is so special about Baccarat crystal. The quality and purity of the French maker's glass are exceptional. In addition, Baccarat crystal makers have a remarkable fluency with a range of design styles, from cut-glass neoclassical pieces to sinuously etched Art Nouveau designs. The brand also has an extensive history that sets it apart. Starting in the early 19th century, objects produced by the French company, from stemware to chandeliers to brightly colored paperweights, became staples of noble and wealthy households across Europe and as far afield as India. As a result, Baccarat has long been emblematic of luxury and exquisite craftsmanship. Find a collection of Baccarat crystal on 1stDibs.

  • Is Baccarat lead crystal?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 20, 2024
    Yes, Baccarat is lead crystal. In order for a work of glass to be deemed “lead crystal,” its chemical composition needs to contain no less than 24 percent lead oxide. Historically, crystal glassware referred to decorative tableware and drinking vessels that was made of leaded glass. Today's "lead-free crystal" is made with barium oxide, zinc oxide, or potassium oxide instead of lead.

    One of the world’s foremost crystal manufacturers, Baccarat has long been emblematic of luxury and exquisite craftsmanship. While glass chandeliers were quite popular lighting fixtures for palatial homes in the 19th century — and they still bring welcome drama to a space — Baccarat chandeliers were different from the rest of the world’s supply. 

    At the time, artisans at Baccarat added nickel oxide to their leaded glass mixture during the manufacturing process, which made for a perfectly clear rock crystal imitation. Owing to distinct and innovative processes like these, which yielded strikingly clear pieces of glass, Baccarat chandeliers and pendants — as well as the company’s decorative objects, serveware and other glass pieces — were soon prized as symbols of wealth all over the world.

  • How can you tell if a crystal is Baccarat?

    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if a crystal is Baccarat, look for the maker's mark. Beginning in 1930, the luxury maker began engraving its pieces with a marking. The mark will either show the Baccarat brand name by itself or feature the logo and the brand name. Older crystal was usually marked with a paper label, which may have come off over the years. If you don't find an engraved hallmark, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you with the identification process. Explore a variety of Baccarat crystal wares on 1stDibs.
