Haute Couture Éclats de Lumière Carafe

Inlaid with azure, as if a river of sapphires were flowing along its curves, the Éclats de Lumière Carafe evokes the art of jewelry making; in this creation, special meaning is instilled in diamond-cut decorations. Crafted with masterful cold working techniques, its scalloped foot with flame tips recalls the iconic Tsar’s glassware, ordered by Nicholas II. Its flared neck is surmounted by a stopper, the creation of which requires all the force of steady breath performed exclusively by the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France. The Éclats de Lumière Carafe is a reinterpretation of the centerpiece of a service created in 1908; a set whose nobility, fit for a king, seduced the maharajah Jagatjit Singh. A great collector of jewels and an eccentric sovereign to say the least, this French art lover admired the Château de Versailles to the point of commissioning the construction of his own replica. Dazzling like the sun, the Éclats de Lumière Carafe borrows from a unique savoir-faire and from all the elements of nature, making its crystal exquisitely pure; because its creation spans ateliers and generations, it has acquired an eternal character. The Éclats de Lumière Carafe exalts what is most universal about crystal.
