An exceptional Baccarat crystal stand in the iconic Bamboo Tors pattern, dating from the late 19th to the early 20th century. This elegant piece is believed to have originally served as an inkstand base, designed as part of Baccarat’s refined garniture de bureau. The Bamboo Doors pattern is documented in Baccarat catalogues for desk accessories, making it one of the Maison’s most distinctive decorative designs of the period. Beyond its original purpose, this beautiful crystal stand can also be used today as a decorative table mat, centrepiece stand or display base, ideal for presenting fine crystal, porcelain, candles or small serving dishes. The striking spiral design combined with the sculptural bamboo-inspired border creates exceptional brilliance and beautifully showcases Baccarat’s renowned craftsmanship. The piece remains in good antique condition, displaying some traces of age and several small chips, consistent with its late 19th–early 20th century origin. These minor signs of time do not detract from its beauty or rarity and are typical for a crystal object of this age. A rare and highly decorative collector’s piece, equally suited for a Baccarat collection or an elegant interior. Height — 3.3 cm Base — 17.2x17.2 cm
