Product Description
The Story of Baccarat, 1764 -1994, Dany Sautot Collection directed by Fabienne de Seze, Curator of the Baccarat Museum, Published by Baccarat, 1993. Softcover, in pictorial wraps, illustrated throughout, mostly in color photographs, 9.75" x 7.5", unpaginated [94 pp.], bibliography.
From the rear cover: " 'The Story of Baccarat' is the first volume of a collection dedicated to the famous crystal world. Established in 1764, Baccarat has been able to preserve its heritage, which is a testament to changing customs and tastes. Present in the major international contests that were the Great Exhibition of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Company was awarded the highest distinctions and thereby contributed to conveying a certain image of French culture world wide.
The collection is designed to give an insight into the rich history of creations: lighting fixtures, stemware, perfume bottles, decorative objects and a "craft" in the most noble sense of the term, where machinery has only played a secondary role in the stemware of a time-honored art form, where "skill" remains essential."
