AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid French Crystal Dinner Service in the Louis XVI Style (Baccarat/Saint-Louis)
Era: Early 20th Century (Circa 1900-1920)
Material: Mouth-blown and hand-cut superior crystal
Workmanship: Acid engraving with festoon decorations, floral garlands and neoclassical medallions
Description of the Piece
Rare and impressive complete dining service, expression of the utmost refinement of French glassware from the Belle Epoque era. The set is distinguished by an elaborate acid-cutting along the edge of each piece: a refined interlacing of flower garlands, ribbons and shield-shaped medallions, typical of the Louis XVI style.
Unlike versions with a 'button' stem, this variant features a smooth, full-stemmed stem, a design choice that gives the service an elegant, elongated, timeless look, emphasizing the extraordinary transparency of the crystal and the complexity of the incised decor.
The service comprises 6 different goblet sizes, allowing an impeccable mise en place that covers every need: from water to red and white wines, to dessert wines (passiti), liqueurs, and the classic champagne coupe.
Set Composition (Total pieces: [Insert total number])
The service is exceptionally complete and includes:
4 Carafes/Decanters: Bulbous shapes with a long, slender neck, complete with original diamond-cut stoppers.
6 Sets of Goblets (Differing Sizes):
6 Water Goblets: The largest and most majestic. 15.5 cm
6 Red Wine Goblets: Generous proportions. 14.8 cm
6 White Wine Goblets: Slightly smaller to maintain temperature. 12.5 cm
6 Champagne Cups: The retro classic flared shape. 11.5 cm
5 Dessert Wine/Port Glasses: Intermediate size. 10.5 cm
5 Liquor/Rosolio Glasses: Small and precious, ideal for after-dinner drinks. 9 cm
Technical Details and Condition
Condition: in good vintage condition.
Distinctive marks: Being handmade pieces from before 1936, they do not bear an acid signature, ensuring authenticity of the historical period.
Stopper construction: Stoppers with diamond-cut facets individually ground to fit perfectly into the necks of the carafes.
