Fifteen years later, the workshop's crystal glass formula was perfected, and the site was renamed the \"Royal crystal-works of Saint-Louis.\" Since 1829, the workshop has devoted itself solely to the production of crystal, and \"Saint-Louis crystal\" products--dinner services in the signature \"Trianon\" pattern and luminous decorative pieces, chandeliers and lamps, exquisitely hand-decorated in 24-carat gold or platinum--have become synonymous with a certain tradition of luxury and refinement. \u003ci\u003eLes Cristalleries Saint-Louis\u003c\/i\u003e charts the history of 19th- and 20th-century design and craftsmanship as expressed in Saint-Louis luxury crystal products, and explores how partnerships with contemporary designers have brought the brand, representing France's oldest glass manufacturer, into the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sébastien Lapaque\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Actes Sud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.70h x 9.60w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782330049164","brand":"Actes Sud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47937623457929,"sku":"9782330049164","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3f8f5d8b-1cbe-4afa-8103-75d96477d430.jpg?v=1786471871","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/les-cristalleries-saint-louis-9782330049164","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
