The technique of embedding cameo sulphides in paperweights, was raised to a fine art by Baccarat in the early 19th century.  After the heyday in the mid nineteenth century, production was again seen in the 1930's. Production of paperweights at Baccarat then ceased until 1957 when Baccarat once again, having been successful in rediscovering the required techniques, began to make paperweights. Justifiably famed for their paperweights this factory has been associated with paperweight making throughout the years. Baccarat paperweights are of excellent quality, made with a high lead content crystal.
