Baccarat’s origins can be traced to a grant given by King Louis XV to the Bishop of Montmorency-Laval of Metz to open a glassworks facility in the town of Baccarat in 1764. During the early 1830s, the company expanded its market beyond the borders of France.  Palaces as far away as Constantinople placed orders for Baccarat crystal lighting fixtures, candelabras, banisters, and even crystal hookahs! The popularity of Baccarat items continued to grow as it pushed a diverse collection of products to all corners of the globe. In 1841, the company designed its most famous pattern, “Harcourt.”  This pattern remains in production today, and has become immensely popular and collectible. Throughout its history, Baccarat crystal came to grace the tables of King Louis XVIII, King Charles X, Louis-Philippe, Emperor Napoleon III, and many of the French presidents.
