Description

Baccarat Crystal Obelisk Objet, Signed & Boxed — 15¼" H

Baccarat's Obelisk objet in clear lead crystal presents the maison's signature architectural vocabulary at its most elemental: a long tapered pyramidal shaft rising from a stepped square plinth through a faceted collar, every surface ground and polished to a mirror finish. Beveled vertical ribs run the full length of the shaft, refracting light into prismatic streaks that shift with the viewing angle. The underside carries both an engraved script "Baccarat" signature and the acid-etched circular "Baccarat France" maker's mark — authentication consistent with production at the Baccarat manufactory in Lorraine, France, in continuous operation since 1764. Baccarat markets the Obelisk line across its flagship boutiques and authorized luxury retailers as a centerpiece objet d'art, positioned alongside its Eye vases and Harcourt objets as statement decorative sculpture for residential and hospitality interiors.

Offered in its original red Baccarat presentation box with silver script branding, clean and structurally intact.


CONDITION

Excellent. No chips, cracks, or losses observed; all polished surfaces retain full original brilliance with strong prismatic response. Minor superficial handling marks are visible on the base facets under raking light only; the original presentation box shows light shelf wear consistent with careful storage.
