AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent Baccarat crystal centerpiece, in a salmon-pink hue, with scrollwork decoration and a central radial motif. This model is formally identified as belonging to Baccarat’s “Russian Series,” illustrated in the General Catalog of the Compagnie des Cristalleries de Baccarat of 1903/1904, on page 22 (model reference Plateau T 202 / T 203).
The piece is signed in relief on the crystal with “BACCARAT” and “DÉPOSÉ,” an authentic hallmark of the manufacturer for its registered molded-crystal models from this period.
The crystal rests on a silver base and support, featuring two exclusive side handles composed of discs of antique ivory with decorative beetle-shaped applications in turquoise, evoking the Egyptian Revival aesthetic characteristic of the early 20th century.
The ivory elements are accompanied by an official certificate confirming that it is elephant ivory dating from before 1947, in full compliance with current European regulations (Regulation EC 338/97).
Condition - Crystal in very good overall condition, with light signs of use on the base; natural patina on the silver and radial cracking characteristic of ivory, consistent with the age and authenticity of the materials.
Approximate measurements - 8.5 cm in height; 38 cm in width (overall with the handles); Total weight: 1718 grams;
Shipping notice and legal restrictions - Due to CITES regulations relating to ivory elements, this lot can only be shipped to countries within the European Union (EU). We ask bidders outside the EU not to participate in this auction. Shipping will occur only after verification of the destination address within the EU.
This item will be well packed and securely shipped by registered mail.
