Jean-Baptiste Desvignes
Based between 1817 and 1826 at 28 rue de Lancry in Paris, this craftsman can be described as the greatest decorator of crystal, an activity for which he obtained a patent in 1817. The unique feature of his work is the cold application (50°C) of gilding, silvering, and even colors.
