Baccarat Harcourt Abysse crystal photo frame, designed by Thomas Bastide in France, 20.5 × 16 × 6 cm, excellent condition with minimal signs of wear.
Description from the seller
The Optical Treasure: The Architecture of Light
This Baccarat photo frame is not just a simple desk accessory; it is a collectible luminous sculpture from the prestigious Harcourt Abysse collection. It embodies the avant-garde vision of its creator, designer Thomas Bastide, who masterfully combines the heritage of the Harcourt cut with the architectural rigor of contemporary lines.
The heart of this piece lies in its solid clear crystal base. Carved with masterful precision, it unfolds in bold geometry: an elongated prism with powerful, beveled facets. Each cut, with absolute sharpness, has been meticulously fire-polished to release the fires of the crystal – those iridescent flashes that have immortalized Baccarat's reputation for centuries.
The object transforms the image it contains. The crystal captures the environment and amplifies it, granting the framed keepsake an aura of eternity and sophisticated luxury. The contrast between the icy purity of the crystal and the colorful texture of the background (such as the red in the images) elevates it into a true exceptional optical tableau.
This model, a prized piece for collectors and lovers of decorative art, is presented in an exceptional condition. Although it bears witness to a past life with some tiny and discreet micro-scratches from use, these are negligible and do not impair the clarity or function of the piece as a true decorative jewel. Its authenticity is guaranteed by the famous Baccarat signature engraved into the material.
An essential acquisition to elevate any interior with the incomparable brilliance and elegance of French crystal.
