Baccarat Manufacture, Set of Four Crystal Wall-Lights, France, circa 1950

About the Item

Beautiful set of four four-light cut crystal wall-lights. From a central cup emerges the shaft consisting of a dagger surmounted by an inverted cup topped with a faceted sphere ending in a dagger. The four light arms end with binets and bobeches with diamond-cut decoration. The whole is elegantly decorated with numerous crystal pendants. They are supported by an oval gilt bronze attachment decorated with foliage. Biography : The famous crystal manufacture of Baccarat, that dates back to the 18th Century, was awarded its first medal in 1823, during the « 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, and especially between 1855 and 1867. In all reports one can read about the « perfection of the material and of its cut ». Between 1764 and 1860, with rare exceptions, the Cristallerie de Baccarat never signed his work. The first paper labels appear in 1860 and represent inside a circle a carafe surrounded by a stemmed glass and a goblet above which is marked Baccarat. From 1875, the Mark « Baccarat » in stick letters and in relief is present on certain blown models and on the bronze parts of the frames. It is from 1936 that the carafe surrounded by a stemmed glass and a goblet, with « Baccarat » marked above, systematically appeared on the entire production.
