A Twenty-Four Light Crystal Glass Chandelier, By La Compagnie des Cristalleries de Baccarat.
The trumpet-shaped corona issuing cane-shaped branches hung with tulip bells. Above a hobnail cut upper stem and pendant hung canopy. Issuing S-scrolled branches interspersed with upward curved branches all with etched glass storm shades. Variously hung with prism and pendant chains.
Signed in the relief on the mould 'BACCARAT' and variously etched marked.
The definitive Baccarat chandelier this model is recorded in the 'Tarifs des Articles d'Eclairage', Edition 1903-1904, for the Compagnie des Cristalleries de Baccarat, as 'Série E. 185'. The storm shades, etched with scrolled acanthus decoration, were sold separately. Baccarat retails this model as 'Zenith chandelier 24 lights'. Described as "the iconic chandelier par excellence, the Zenith collection showcases the meticulous finery of Baccarat's craftsmanship".
France, 20th Century.
