The J. & L. Lobmeyr glass and chandelier manufacturer has existed since 1823. What began as a simple trading house developed into a purveyor to the royal and imperial courts. The Austrian glass manufacturer produced crystal chandeliers for Schönbrunn Palace, the Bavarian royal palaces, the King of Siam, and the Spanish and Greek courts.
Her fragile vessels are blown in wooden molds to a maximum thickness of 1.1 millimeters. The material is wafer-thin muslin glass, which appears to crumble in the hands, yet is still so flexible and stable.
