France is full of exceptional houses that perpetuate an ancestral know-how. They are the jewels in the crown of French craftsmanship and contribute to our country's influence throughout the world. The Saint-Louis crystal factory is one of these unique ambassadors of the French art of living.

Incomparable, dense, limpid, sonorous and luminous, born of a ball of fire and the breath of men, Saint Louis crystal vibrates with all the talent inherited from history and the incredible creative imagination inspired by the spirit of the times.

Every day, Saint Louis signs crystal pieces made by master glassmakers and master cutters who are among the "Meilleurs Ouvriers de France". 

All of them are holders of an irreplaceable know-how, enriched from generation to generation.

Thanks to the progress permitted by chemical and mechanical processes, some of which were invented in the 19th century, the crystal works has also been able to introduce the most advanced techniques of crystal colouring, hot shaping, cold cutting, engraving of the most sophisticated motifs and gold decoration.
