Description from the seller
Magnificent “Madrid” crystal decanter by Saint-Louis, an exceptional example of early 20th-century French crystal artistry. Crafted nearly a century ago, this refined piece embodies the timeless elegance, brilliance, and savoir-faire for which Saint-Louis is renowned worldwide.
The decanter features the iconic Madrid pattern, distinguished by its sophisticated geometry, luminous clarity, and beautifully balanced proportions. Its sculptural silhouette reflects the grandeur of classic French luxury barware, making it both a functional object and a true decorative statement.
Preserved in remarkable condition for its age, the crystal remains exceptionally clear and radiant, with no chips or cracks observed. As expected for authentic Saint-Louis production prior to 1936, the piece is not acid-stamped a characteristic consistent with early manufacture. The corresponding catalog page is included in the listing as a reference to its historical model attribution and provenance.
An exquisite collector’s piece for connoisseurs of fine crystal, antique barware, and prestigious French decorative arts. Perfect for elevating an elegant interior, curated collection, or refined table presentation.
