Bespoke work at Baccarat has an outstanding history. From crystal lighting for an Indian Maharaja in 1885, to Tsar Nicholas II's stemware, fountains and candelabras, perfume bottles commissioned by Schiaparelli, stemware for the Emperor of Japan; the list is awesome.

In these more democratic times, ordinary mortals can commission magnificent lamps through Cameron Peters, for private houses or design briefs.
