Since 1764, when King Louis XV gave the Bishop de Montmorency-Laval of Metz permission to found a glassworks in the town of Baccarat in Lorraine, the name Baccarat has personified a certain image of French fashion and culture. It started as a simple glassworks producing windowpanes, mirrors, and everyday drinkware, until 1816 when the first crystal oven went into operation. Over 3,000 people worked at the manufactory by this time.
The year 1823 marked the beginning of much growth for Baccarat. This was the year of the first royal commission by King Louis XVIII for a set of stemware. Since then, the glassworks has created masterpieces for many leaders, including Kings Charles X and Louis-Philippe, the Emperor Napoleon III, all of the French presidents, Russian Tsar Nicholas II and American President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Seven years later, in 1830, the Baccarat market grew considerably with the first shipment to the eastern capitol of Constantinople. Following that first order, there were many subsequent ones for light fixtures, candelabras, banisters, and even hookahs. This was only the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship with the far east that still exists today. The fruitful years of the 19th century came to a close with Baccarat winning several gold medals at World Fairs, the creation of the first brand signature in 1860, and in 1896, the burning of the designated “Russian Oven" day and night to fill the lavish orders of Tsar Nicholas II. A special vodka glass and even fountains were among items specially designed for the incredibly luxurious Russian palaces.
The 20th century opened with Baccarat producing over 4,000 perfume bottles a day. This also marked the beginning of wonderful relationships with renowned designers and the glassworks-names such as Dior, Guerlain, and Versace. In the 1990's, a jewelry line was introduced, extending the Baccarat name to personal accessories as well as the home and table.
The headquarters in Paris moved to a fabulous mansion in 2003 at 11 Place des Etats Unis and was completely designed by Philippe Starck. This cutting edge design design symbolizes what Baccarat has always meant to the world-a manufactory that is always one step ahead of the rest.
