Rare antique boat-shaped toilet set – amber enameled glass – late 19th century

⸻

DESCRIPTION

Rare and elegant antique boat-shaped toilet set from the late 19th century (around 1880–1910).

The set consists of two handled bottles and a covered jar made of amber-colored blown glass, richly decorated with hand-painted enameled floral motifs, presented in their original gilded metal support, with a central beveled glass suspended by chains.

The metal frame, finely handcrafted, adopts a stylized boat shape, particularly decorative and uncommon. The amber glass, with a warm and luminous hue, is enhanced by a delicate floral decoration typical of European productions from the Napoléon III / Belle Époque period.

The set remains complete, which is rare for this type of object, and displays a very beautiful visual harmony. It makes for a high-quality decorative piece, ideal for a dressing table, an antique bathroom, or a display cabinet for a collection.

Note: some signs of wear, the caps are original, and I apologize for the photos; the cropping software is not very precise. It is a beveled glass, not a mirror, and what you see is transparency, not a reflection. Please look carefully at the photos as they serve as a description.

Have a wonderful holiday season!
