The Harcourt 1841 collection, the oldest in the Baccarat archive, is reputed for its iconic design. Created in 1841, Harcourt 1841 stemware has been chosen by historical icons: Pope John-Paul II, the Queen of Thailand, the King of Morocco, and many other important figures. The Harcourt 1841 collection has also been a staple of French power, selected since the age of Napoleon III to its contemporary use in the Palais de l’Elysée.
