Bohemia Crystal Chandeliers have become a prestigious sign of good taste, wealth, and nobility. During the Renaissance, they were bringing radiance to the palaces of the French king Louis XV, the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa, and Elizabeth of Russia. That was the time when Czech crystal emerged for the first time in history to distinguish its qualities from the glass coming from other places.
Since then, Bohemia turned out expert craftsmen who became skilled teachers of glass-making in neighbouring and distant countries, including Ireland. In 1947, Czech immigrant and glassmaker Karel Bacik established a glassworks in the city of Waterford and together with his fellow countryman Miroslav Havel and skilled crystal workers from continental Europe started glassmaking operation in Ireland.
Today, Czech crystal is internationally well recognised for its beauty, innovative design and high quality. Chandeliers made of Bohemia crystal glass enhance the brilliance of places like Milan's Teatro alla Scala, Rome's Teatro dell 'Opera, Versailles, the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, or the royal palace in Riyadh.
World famous architects, artists, and people interested in contemporary design are starting to admire beautifully crafted pieces from this sparkling, innovative material. For many, Bohemia Crystal Chandeliers have become essential creative ingredients being more and more often used in modern interiors.
