Baccarat Canopée Bowl Limited Edition - Haute Cristallerie
DESCRIPTION Sydney’s only Baccarat destination. Created in 1901 for the Russian Court, the Canopée bowl in emerald cased crystal displays rich Belle Époque cutting. Limited to 50 pieces worldwide Created in 1901 for the grand tables of the Russian Imperial Court, the Canopée bowl belongs to the realm of Baccarat’s most prestigious and confidential commissions, having never appeared in the Maison’s catalogue. It fully reflects the aesthetic of the Belle Époque, a moment of creative exuberance when the profusion and virtuosity of decoration were at their height. Its highly complex decoration is distinguished by rich cutting combining festoons, palmettes and rosettes, an ornamental vocabulary that would be revisited a few years later in the creation of the iconic Tsar glass. Cut in emerald double-cased crystal, this decoration composes a true architecture of light, where each facet animates the surface and reveals the brilliance of the material. The perfect symmetry of the motif demands absolute control : each cut hinges on a delicate balance between strength and precision, between a sharp eye and an expert hand. Baccarat has stood at the forefront of French crystal artistry since 1764, when it was founded by royal decree in the village of Baccarat, Lorraine. From its origins in the village of Baccarat, every piece has been meticulously handcrafted in France, embodying clarity, brilliance, and timeless artistry. Known for its signature red crystal — tinted with 24-karat gold — and iconic designs like the Harcourt glass, Baccarat continues to illuminate the world’s most refined interiors. Today, it stands as a symbol of enduring elegance and exceptional craftsmanship, where tradition meets innovation in every detail. This piece is brand new, sourced directly from Baccarat, and embodies pristine condition and authentic French crystal craftsmanship. We are the only boutique in Sydney, Australia, where you can visit and select your Baccarat pieces in person. Contact us to pre-order.
