The Real Fábrica de Cristales de la Granja was established in 1727 in San Ildefonso by order of King Bourbon Philip V of Spain, to the effect in particular to provide the mirrors and mirrors of the Royal Palace of Granja. The Royal Manufacture then welcomed French glass masters (1746) then German and Bohemian masters (1750), the most skilled in Europe in the 18th century. Like the porcelain factory of Buen Retiro, the tapestry factory of Santa Barbara, the crystal factory of La Granja contributed to the influence of the Spanish decorative arts. Following the Spanish war of independence, the factory was closed in 1808, before being rehabilitated in 1815 under the reign of Fernando VII. Production continued throughout the nineteenth century, managed by private entrepreneurs and exported to Europe and across the Atlantic. To pay tribute to this know-how, a foundation and a museum were created in 1982. . In 1997 the factory is classified "Property of cultural interest" by the Spanish government. The chandelier we are presenting is a model perfectly identical to the one that is currently exhibited in the Goya Salon, Palace of the Dukes of Alba in Madrid.
La Real Fábrica de Cristales de La Granja fut établie en 1727 à San Ildefonso, dans la province de Ségovie en Espagne par ordre du roi Bourbon Philippe V d’Espagne, à l’effet notamment de fournir les glaces et miroirs du palais royal de la Granja. La manufacture royale accueillit alors des maîtres verriers français (1746) puis Allemands et de Bohême (1750), les plus qualifiés d’Europe au XVIIIe siècle. A l’instar de la manufacture de porcelaine du Buen Retiro, de la manufacture de tapisserie de Santa Barbara, la manufacture de cristal de La Granja contribua au rayonnement des arts décoratifs espagnols. Suite à la guerre d’indépendance d’Espagne, la manufacture fut fermée en 1808, avant d’être réhabilitée en 1815 sous le règne de Fernando VII. La production continua durant tout le XIXe siècle, gérée par des entrepreneurs privés et fut exportée en Europe et outre-Atlantique. Pour rendre hommage à ce savoir-faire, une fondation et un musée furent créés en 1982. En 1997 la manufacture est classée « Bien d’intérêt culturel » par le gouvernement espagnol. Le lustre que nous présentons est un modèle identique à celui qui est exposé actuellement dans le salon Goya, du Palais des Ducs d’Albe à Madrid.
