The Baccarat crystal factory was founded in 1816 by the financier and industrialist Aimé-Gabriel d'Artigues (1773-1848) on the site of the former Sainte -Anne.

In 1764, King Louis XV gave permission to the Bishop of Metz, Louis-Joseph de Montmorency-Laval, to create a glass factory on his Baccarat land.

As early as 1824, during the National Exhibition at the Louvre, Baccarat presented magnificent crystal chandeliers and recidivism during the Universal Exhibitions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Since 200 years, Baccarat has illuminated national palaces, royal residences, presidential residences, wealthy mansions around the world, theaters, cathedrals in France and Latin America.
