A celebration of wildlife, Cecil is Baccarats first lion. A masterpiece of crystal designed by Allison Hawkes and created by the uniquely skilled artisans of our Manufacture.
Cecil the lion was illegally hunted in Zimbabwe in 2015. His name is now synonymous with the protection of this highly endangered species. The first piece will be auctioned at the Annabels club and funds raised donated to The Caring Family Foundation to work towards the reforestation and malnutrition of the Amazon.
Handcrafted, this sculpture required the expert hands of a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France and several crystal cutters to re-create the powerful majesty of the king of the savannah. The feline rests on a pedestal of Macassar ebony.

Baccarat Crystal has, from the beginning, affixed its signature on strong works illustrating all the facets of artistic craftsmanship and covering a vast repertoire of inspiration.

In 1764 King Louis XV of France gave Bishop Montmorency-Laval of Metz permission to found a glassworks in the village of Baccarat located in Lorraine in eastern France.

The creations of great artists inspired by the magic of crystal are all magnificent stones brought together into building the Art de Vivre collection.

This is how Baccarat perpetuates the great French tradition of a cosmopolitan art of living. Envisioned by Philippe Starck, the Baccarat House in Paris, home to the brand's headquarters, is a meeting place for its most beautiful creations and one of its most beautiful manifestations.
