Description from the seller
Elegant vintage crystal decanter with a silver/argent-plated mount, Distillerie Buton – Bologna, founded in 1820, with G. Galletti silverwork – Milan.
Splendid and refined collectible object, characterized by a body in transparent crystal heavily worked and cut, with an elegant and slender form. The crystal presents a rich geometric decoration and oval motifs, creating evocative light plays and giving the object a particularly precious appearance.
The upper part is completed by an important silver-plated metal mount, finely decorated, with floral motifs and engraved scrolls. Particularly striking is the large dragon-shaped handle, finely modeled and decorated in relief, an element that gives the decanter a very distinctive character.
The spout is wide and shaped, accompanied by a stopper with a chain, while the base features an elegant circular pedestal with coordinated ornamental decorations.
On the bottom are the important inscriptions and marks visible in the photographs, including:
“DISTILLERIE BUTON – BOLOGNA – ITALIA – CASA FONDATA NEL 1820”
and
“ARGENTERIE G. GALLETTI – MILANO”
The presence of these marks makes the object particularly interesting from a historical and collecting perspective, linking it to the Italian tradition of liquor production and decorative silverware.
Era: XX secolo, with historicist and decorative character.
Stile: elegant revival, eclectic taste, with ornamental elements inspired by neo-Renaissance/mythological.
Materiali: cristallo molato e montatura metallica argentata/argentea decorata.
Provenienza/marcature: Distillerie Buton, Bologna; Argenterie G. Galletti, Milano, as per marks visible on the bottom.
Condizioni
Buone condizioni vintage rapportate all’età. Il cristallo presenta alcune normali tracce del tempo e piccole imperfezioni proprie di un oggetto d’epoca. La montatura metallica presenta ossidazioni, patina e segni del tempo, soprattutto nella parte inferiore, come chiaramente visibile nelle fotografie. Sono presenti normali segni d’uso e di conservazione.
Si consiglia di considerare attentamente tutte le fotografie, che costituiscono parte integrante della descrizione.
Un pezzo di grande effetto decorativo, ideale per collezionisti di cristallo, argenteria italiana, oggetti legati alle antiche distillerie e complementi d’arredo d’epoca.
