Excepcional juego de tocador Art Déco francés en vidrio degradado amatista. Francia, ca. 1925–1930 - - Dressing table set (8) - Crystal

Magnificent and elegant French Art Deco vanity set, made circa 1925–1930 from exceptionally beautiful art glass. Attributed to Baccarat on the basis of its stylistic features, the purity of its lines, the harmony of its proportions, and the balance of its forms make this set a magnificent example of French decorative glass from the interwar period.

Vanity sets of this quality held a prominent place on the dressing tables and chests of drawers in the finest homes during the 1920s and 1930s, serving as symbols of elegance and refinement.
The set comprises eight pieces with a delicate color gradient transitioning from a deep amethyst tone to a subtle transparency at the base. Combined with the transparency and luminosity of the glass, this creates an appealing play of light and reflections that enhances the sophistication of the set.
All the pieces were conceived in a unified aesthetic language with geometric inspiration, characteristic of the authentic Art Deco movement.

- Four bottles with their matching faceted glass stoppers, creating an elegant prismatic effect.

- An elegant perfume atomizer with an original metal mount marked "Made in France" and decorated with a raised monogram consisting of the letter "B" incorporating the letters "R" and "L" within it. This monogram may correspond to the maker of the mount or to a French supplier of perfume accessories, making it an interesting period detail that reinforces the set's French origins.

- A cylindrical container (jewelry box), which may originally have had a lid.

- Two trays in different sizes.
Its excellent appearance, uniform color, preservation of virtually all its original components, and elegant design make this set a striking decorative piece and a magnificent testament to French decorative arts from the first third of the 20th century. Ideal for collectors, interior designers, or lovers of art glass and decorative arts from the Art Deco period.
Condition
The set is in good overall condition, consistent with its age, retaining a magnificent appearance and the appeal characteristic of original pieces from this period.
As is to be expected of a set approximately a century old that has been enjoyed with care, it shows the usual signs of age consistent with its years. Despite this, it retains extraordinary aesthetic and collectible value, making it a magnificent display piece for a cabinet or dressing table
• Two of the bottles have small chips on the rim of the opening.

• One of the stoppers remains stuck in the neck of the bottle, probably due to hardened old perfume residue or an old resin. No attempt has been made to remove it, in order to preserve the integrity of the piece.

• The main tray has a chip on one of its edges.

• The small tray has a chip on one of its edges.


• The atomizer retains its slender silhouette and the attractive patina of the original fabric, which harmonizes perfectly with the gradient glass. The atomizer's metal mount retains its original finish, showing a light patina and surface wear consistent with its age.
The interior rubber bulb has crystallized, a common and inevitable occurrence in French atomizers from the 1920s and 1930s, as natural rubber eventually hardens and loses its elasticity over time. The repair would be technically straightforward; however, as this is a piece of historical interest, I have chosen to leave it in its original condition to preserve its authenticity.
