Timeless Crystal

Crystal, like its kin glass, means art, as well as the allure of new and old trends. But it also means putting history, culture, imagination and new technologies to use. Due to its composition, which makes it particularly suitable for cutting and engraving, lead glass is famous, brilliant and lustrous. This is why, after all, crystal objects have always had a special place in any home. This article looks at how crystal was born, at its development, especially in northern Europe, and at how it became a stylish ritual for the dining table and special occasions.
