Val Saint Lambert “Valambert” Pressed Crystal Centerpiece — 1913 Catalogue

A stunning four-part centerpiece from the iconic Valambert collection by Val Saint Lambert, Belgium’s premier crystal manufacturer. This rare design is featured in the 1913 company catalogue, showcasing the rich history and craftsmanship of early 20th-century pressed crystal.

The set consists of four modular elements. When arranged together, the centerpiece reaches an impressive 46 cm, making it a striking focal point for any table or display. The composition is complemented by two matching crystal candlesticks, designed to fit seamlessly within the arrangement and enhance its sculptural presence.

Intricate geometric textures and patterns catch the light beautifully, a testament to Val Saint Lambert’s exceptional mold design. The pressed crystal construction provides both visual depth and architectural precision, characteristic of the factory’s early industrial artistry.

This piece is part of a large service that includes a wide array of matching elements, making it a fantastic foundation for a new collection- or the perfect addition to an existing one.

Some minor imperfections consistent with age are present, but do not detract from its strong visual appeal or historical value.


Val Saint Lambert, nestled in Seraing near Liège, Belgium, is a beacon of crystal craftsmanship with a legacy spanning nearly two centuries. Established in 1826 by chemist François Kemlin and engineer Auguste Lelièvre, the company transformed the remnants of the Val-Saint-Lambert Abbey into a thriving glassworks.

The 19th century marked a period of significant growth for Val Saint Lambert. By the early 1900s, the company employed over 5,000 workers, producing 120,000 pieces of glass daily. Their creations, renowned for exceptional quality and intricate designs, found admirers worldwide, including in Tsarist Russia and North America. A testament to their artistry is the “Vase of the Nine Provinces,” a monumental piece over 2 meters tall and weighing 200 kilograms, crafted for the 1894 World Exhibition in Antwerp.

The 20th century brought challenges, including the impacts of two World Wars and economic downturns. Despite these obstacles, Val Saint Lambert’s resilience ensured the preservation of its artisanal heritage. Today, the company seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, producing exquisite crystal pieces that cater to modern aesthetics.

Val Saint Lambert stands as a symbol of Belgian craftsmanship, where each piece reflects a harmonious blend of history, artistry, and innovation.
