The BACCARAT name is incorporated prominently across the base of the installation.
A fascinating surviving piece of 1960s luxury advertising, retail display and decorative-arts history, with appeal across several collecting areas: Baccarat and French crystal, vintage advertising photography, Mid-Century Modern design, visual merchandising, luxury retail history, interior/display design and original vintage photography. Original period black-and-white photographic print. Baccarat name clearly visible in the original display. Period display featuring crystal, tableware and decorative objects. Original handwritten notation/date retained on lower margin.
Reverse is largely blank, as photographed. The photograph shows age consistent with an original piece from the period, including some edge/corner wear, surface marks and age-related discoloration. Please examine all photographs carefully, including the detailed close-ups and reverse, as they form an important part of the condition description.This photograph comes from a substantial original archive of approximately 200 vintage commercial/display photographs, many documenting Baccarat installations and luxury decorative-arts displays over a period of years. The archive has remained together in period albums with handwritten dates and identifying notations. Additional photographs from the archive will be offered separately.
An unusual opportunity for collectors of Baccarat, French crystal, Mid-Century Modern design, vintage advertising, retail/window-display history, decorative arts and original commercial photography.
