Baccarat Crystal

About Baccarat

Baccarat was founded in 1764 in the town of Baccarat in Lorraine, France, with the permission of King Louis XV, and began making fine crystal in 1816. Prized by kings and emperors, Baccarat crystal is known for its exceptional clarity and brilliance. Patterns such as Harcourt, first made in 1841, remain icons of French luxury.
