Tarif des articles d'eclairage / Compagnie des cristalleries de Baccarat
A 1907 Paris price list ('Tarif des articles d'eclairage') issued by the Compagnie des cristalleries de Baccarat, the glassworks, for trade customers ordering lighting fittings. Its pictures are black-and-white photographs and one colour plate of cut-crystal chandeliers, wall lights and sconces set against dark backgrounds, showing the tiers of prisms, drops and bobeches. A designer could take from them the layered geometry of hanging crystal, the contrast of clear glass on black, and the way frosted shades pair with clear arms.
