This French maison has always known how to turn crystal into theatre. With 260 years of history, Baccarat’s art of crystalware has always been embedded in a slow-lingering spectacle of craftsmanship and history. Rewind a few centuries ago, in the 1800s, an Indian patron’s sketch of a traditional throne became the blueprint for one of Baccarat’s most storied collections, crafted out of clear-shaped cut crystal and removable tufted velvet, and painstakingly carried across oceans and landscapes to India.
Imaginative but realistic, this legacy echoes loud at Baccarat’s flagship new destination at The Chanakya Mall in New Delhi. The first and one of its kind outfitted with regal chandeliers, collections across tableware, barware, vases, decoratives and more. Think centuries-old savoir faire and our evolving appreciation for intricate techniques and lasting grandeur. “Although our story with India began nearly 140 years ago, it is now that a new chapter begins. Over the past decade, we have crafted bespoke creations for private residences, where our chandeliers, Prestige vases, and art de vivre collections are often chosen to grace the most exquisite interiors,” explains Laurence Nicolas, CEO, Baccarat.
