AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This exquisite spherical decanter is a striking example of early 20th-century French crystal craftsmanship. Its perfectly rounded body is elevated on a tall, solid circular stem, giving the piece a sculptural presence almost as if displayed upon a pedestal. The design is harmoniously echoed in the original stopper, which mirrors the decanter’s form with refined balance and elegance.
The crystal is of outstanding clarity and weight, showcasing the luxurious quality for which Saint Louis is renowned. The decanter is numbered, confirming its authenticity and heritage.
The condition is very good for an antique piece of nearly 100 years. There are minor traces of time consistent with age, which do not detract from its beauty and instead attest to its history. These signs of wear are documented in the photographs and form an integral part of the description.
A rare and sophisticated object, this decanter embodies timeless French luxury and would be a distinguished addition to any refined interior, crystal collection, or formal table setting.
