AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exquisite Montcenis crystal decanter hallmarked with the French Minerva, a guarantee of high-purity silver and refined craftsmanship.
This impressive piece showcases the timeless brilliance and clarity of Baccarat crystal, combining noble materials into a single, sophisticated collector’s object.
The body of the carafe presents the classic luminosity and precision cut, while the silver neck adds a touch of aristocratic charm.
The crystal is in excellent overall condition, clear and sparkling, with only a few internal stress lines that do not affect use. The silver neck shows a slight soft denting, consistent with age and careful handling, yet it beautifully preserves its shape and character.
Please note that, as expected in an authentic antique piece of over a century old, there are gentle traces of time, including subtle white mineral marks inside from past contact with water. These are entirely normal for historical crystal and remain discreet, preserving the decanter’s remarkable elegance and presence.
A rare and distinguished object, ideal for collectors of fine crystal or as a statement centerpiece for a refined bar or table setting.
