Rare & Retired Baccarat Crystal Empreinte (Wave) Centerpiece

A striking expression of modern French crystal artistry, this rare and retired Baccarat Empreinte centerpiece, also known as the “Wave” design embodies sculptural elegance and technical mastery. Designed by Thomas Bastide, the piece features a long, tapering silhouette elevated on a central foot, with finely ribbed crystal that creates a mesmerizing interplay of light, movement, and reflection.

The precision-cut crystal surface produces a rhythmic, wave like effect, lending the piece both visual depth and architectural presence. Substantial in scale and weight, this centerpiece commands attention as a statement object equally captivating as a sculptural installation or a refined table centerpiece.

The oblong centerpiece tapers elegantly and rests on a square foot, making it ideal as a grand dining table centerpiece, console statement, or collectible display object. This is not a piece you come across often. A true investment-level Baccarat object, discontinued and increasingly difficult to source, especially at this scale.

Crafted in France and no longer in production, this Empreinte centerpiece represents a rare opportunity to acquire a discontinued Baccarat design celebrated for its contemporary form and enduring sophistication. A true collector’s piece that seamlessly bridges art, design, and luxury.
