Baccarat Paperweights—two centuries of beauty by Paul Dunlop

Description: Baccarat Paperweights—two centuries of beauty The Compagnie des Cristalleries de Baccarat, is arguably the premier crystal company in the world. In their two and a half century history they have made some of the finest weights ever produced. This book is the history of Baccarat, focusing on its magnificent glass paperweights. The author has spent over twenty years, and driven over a million miles, researching and photographing weights for inclusion in this book. Here the reader will find the history of the crystalworks and its wonderful creations. The classic period millefiori and lampwork paperweights, as well as cameo and foil incrustations are covered in detail. The broad range of approaches to a subject and the relative rarity of each is discussed. Baccarat’s weights-from the most common to the rarest—are all here. The reader will also find in these pages all of their limited edition weights from 1953 to the present. Their commemorative sulphides, famed Gridel weights and wonderful lampwork designs are included with production dates and information on edition sizes. This book is a must for any connoisseur of Baccarat crystal or paperweight collector. This large format book has 272 pages and is lavishly illustrated with over 800 color photographs. Here at last is the definitive book that traces the long and illustrious history of the Baccarat Company’s prodigious paperweight creations. Its pages reveal the firm’s important documents, its people and especially thecompany’s artistic production from its inception in 1764 to the present day.A careful perusal of these pages reveals that the author has ferreted out many arcane facts concerning paperweight making and has made meticulous analyses of Baccarat’s paperweight production, as well. The excellent photographs, most taken by the author, are carefully discussed in the text where illuminating facts are pointed out about the common examples as well as those which are rare and one-of-a-kind. The charts, documents and photographs chosen for this book, lead to the reader’s better understanding of Baccarat’s contributions to the lore of paperweights. It is my sincere hope that the author will continue his extensive research, and will one day create and offer companion volumes of other important paperweight producers. George N.
