Since 1767, when it was given a royal seal of approval by King Louis XV, Saint-Louis crystal has become a permanent fixture in elite dining rooms, imperial palaces and presidential banquets around the world. Unrivalled, dense, clear, sonorous and luminous, born of a ball of fire and the breath of man, Saint-Louis crystal vibrates with the immense talent inherited from history and the extraordinary creative fantasy inspired by current trends. Saint-Louis is truly the manufacturer of its time, a blend of tradition and innovation that never ceases to draw inspiration from contemporary artistic trends in order to renew and shape its identity. In the wave of creativity that swept through the early 20th century, between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, external designers brought their talents to bear at Saint-Louis, artists such as Paul Nicolas, Jean Sala, Jean Luce, Michel Colle and Maurice Dufrêne, to name a few. This celebrated brand available at Emery Studio unveils the exquisite Royal Collection.
The result of special orders from royal courts, the first chandeliers appeared at Saint-Louis in the mid-19th century. Ever since, the manufacturer has continued to draw inspiration from its classics, introducing the Royal collection in 2015. Saint-Louis’ Royal Chandeliers are crafted by master glassblowers and cutters considered to be among the very best in France, “Meilleurs Ouvriers de France.” Crystal is glass blown, hand-cut, hand-engraved and hand-decorated using 24-carat gold or platinum. Up to 3,000 pieces may be used to make one single chandelier. The collection offers a rich range of products – chandeliers, sconces, table lamps, ceiling lights, candelabras, boxes and cups.
Each piece of the collection is timeless and can be customised for an extra touch of exclusivity through cuts, decoration and colours (size, style and colours). A single chandelier can offer over 50,000 possibilities. In 2019, an oval chandelier was also introduced to add new ways to enhance interiors, whatever its dimensions or style. This distinctive lighting series is awe-inspiring and exudes a strong personality.
