Baccarat - Carafe - Crystal

An exquisite early 20th-century crystal decanter by the prestigious French house Baccarat, documented in the period catalogue under design No. 14. A photograph of the corresponding catalogue illustration is included for reference.
The decanter is distinguished by its tall, beautifully balanced silhouette. Its elegant elongated body rests on a substantial circular pedestal foot, while the softly rounded shoulders rise into an exceptionally long, vertically fluted neck.
The body is decorated with elongated leaf-shaped cuts, arranged above a richly faceted geometric band of interlacing diamonds. This deep hand-cut decoration captures and refracts the light magnificently, emphasizing the exceptional brilliance, clarity and weight of Baccarat crystal.
The decanter is completed by an impressive pointed stopper, cut in the form of a stylised leaf or bud. Its faceted decoration echoes the geometric pattern of the body and creates a harmonious, sculptural composition.
The piece is in excellent antique condition, with normal signs of age and use. Some light surface scratches, minor marks and discreet traces of time may be present, consistent with the history of an authentic antique crystal object. These signs do not detract from its elegance or decorative impact. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
A rare, imposing and highly collectible Baccarat decanter, combining exceptional craftsmanship, elegant proportions and timeless French luxury.
