Val Saint Lambert “Valambert” Centerpiece Frame (1913)

This beautiful pressed crystal centerpiece frame from the Valambert collection by Val Saint Lambert was first introduced in the 1913 catalogue. Composed of multiple interlocking sections, it forms an elegant quatrefoil shape, creating a striking presence on any table.


Its modular design offers versatility — it can be used as a refined centerpiece frame, a dramatic floral display, or a standalone sculptural object.


The Valambert series includes a wide variety of pieces — from elegant tableware to vanity items — and this centerpiece comes in several versions with different shapes and sizes.

All the elements are designed to complement each other beautifully, making this an ideal starting point for a collection, or a perfect way to expand one you already cherish.


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.


Good vintage condition; one segment has a chip on the inner side (not visible when displayed), shown in photos.
