Description from the seller
Splendid French Crystal Table Service - Luigi XVI Style (Baccarat/Saint-Louis)
Era: Early 20th Century (Circa 1900-1920)
Material: Mouth-blown, hand-cut superior crystal
Workmanship: Acid engraving with festoons, floral garlands and neoclassical medallions
Description of the Work
Rare and imposing complete table service, expression of the utmost refinement of French crystal of the Belle Époque era. The set is distinguished by elaborate acid etching running along the edge of every piece: a refined interweaving of floral garlands, ribbons and shield-shaped medallions, typical of the Louis XVI style.
Unlike versions with a ball-shaped stem, this variant features a smooth full-stemmed shaft, a design choice that gives the service an elegant, elongated and timeless look, emphasizing the extraordinary clarity of the crystal and the complexity of the incised decoration.
The service consists of 6 different goblet sizes, allowing an impeccably arranged mise en place that covers every need: from water to red and white wines, to dessert wines, 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 elongated necks, complete with original diamond-cut stoppers.
6 Sets of Goblets (Different Sizes):
6 Water Goblets: The largest and most majestic. 15.5 cm
6 Red Wine Glasses: Generous proportions. 14.8 cm
6 White Wine Glasses: Slightly smaller to maintain temperature. 12.5 cm
6 Champagne Flutes: With the retro flared classic shape. 11.5 cm
5 Dessert/Rozal Porto Glasses: Intermediate size. 10.5 cm
5 Cordial/Liqueur Glasses: Small and precious, ideal for after-dinner
Technical Details and Condition
Condition: in good vintage-preservation condition.
Distinctive marks: Since these pieces were handmade before 1936, they do not bear acid signatures, ensuring authenticity of the historical period.
Cork/Tap Work: Diamond-cut stoppers individually ground to fit perfectly into the carafes’ necks.
