Saint-Louis

The cristalleries saint-louis date back to 1586. named the "royal glassworks of saint-louis" in 1767, the manufacture later became the "royal crystal works of saint-louis" and began to specialize exclusively in the craft of crystal making in the early nineteenth century. It is this savoir faire, handed down from generation to generation, that characterizes the unique quality and appearance of Saint-Louis crystal today; a crystal that is dense, clear, sonorous and luminous. whether traditional or contemporary, the pieces that emerge from the kilns here every day are each more stunning than the last. Made by master glassmakers and cutters belonging to the elite "meilleurs ouvriers de France", these table settings, decorative objects, chandeliers, sconces and lamps never fail to amaze and delight. Here, Saint-Louis opens its doors and, via the words of Sébastien Lapaque and the photographs of François Halard, guides us through its magical universe, side by side with its virtuoso artisans.
