AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A grand place setting for eight represents the pinnacle of early 20th-century French craftsmanship. The ornament is characterized by a carved diamond-pattern with a complex diamond-cut grinding, an extremely refined process that requires millimetric precision. This technique creates a faceted surface that captures light, refracting it into a thousand reflections typical of crystal of the highest quality. The timeless design adapts perfectly to both classic and contemporary tabletops.
The elegant shapes and the worked stem suggest production by the prestigious houses Baccarat or Saint-Louis. Attributed to: Baccarat / Saint-Louis Manufacture (France) Model Burgos. Era: around 1900–1930 (Art Deco / Belle Époque period). They are unsigned as they predate the year 1936.
- Finish: Mouth-blown crystal and hand-polished on a stone wheel.
- Transparency: crystal-clear, free from opacity or yellowing caused by time.
- Sound: The typical crystal-clear chime, long and vibrant, confirms the high lead content.
Condition: In excellent condition, splendid crystal, no cracks, the edges are perfectly smooth to the touch, there are only minimal signs due to age and use.
The set is complete for eight people and includes several types of glasses to cover every need, from the aperitif to the final toast, enhanced by a coordinated and elegant carafe.
