Genuine Baccarat Solstice Crystal Grand Chandelier 8 Lamp Original £23000
Size: H: 42.5" W: 28". Baccarat Crystal has, from the beginning, affixed its signature on strong works illustrating all the facets of artistic craftsmanship and covering a vast repertoire of inspiration. In 1764 King Louis XV of France gave Bishop Montmorency-Laval of Metz permission to found a glassworks in the village of Baccarat located in Lorraine in eastern France. The creations of great artists inspired by the magic of crystal are all magnificent stones brought together into building the Art de Vivre collection. This is how Baccarat perpetuates the great French tradition of a cosmopolitan art of living. Envisioned by Philippe Starck, the Baccarat House in Paris, home to the brand's headquarters, is a meeting place for its most beautiful creations and one of its most beautiful manifestations. The Bellcaps at the ends of the branches imbue a graceful weightlessness. The number of lights from the Solstice model ranges from 6 to 48. Regardless of density, each chandelier is composed of hollow branches crafted from blown cabled crystal resplendently showcasing Baccarat's masterful craftsmanship. The wealth of decoration is all cut in a diamond-point design. Among the spiked prisms, Baccarat signatures's red octagonal crystal hangs discreetly. Though crafted in the classical tradition, the downward-curving crystal branches are absolutely unique to the Solstice chandelier. I have 4 of these available for sale, in addition to a larger 24 Light version in another listing. These chandeliers rarely become available for sale.
