Description from the seller
Cristal d’Arques – Durand – Lucia – 8 elegant French crystal glasses, 24% PbO – unused – original packaging
This auction is for an exceptionally elegant set of eight crystal glasses by the renowned French brand Cristal d’Arques – Durand, Lucia model (Frost Stem), preserved in pristine, unused condition and accompanied by two original manufacturer’s boxes.
The set is a beautiful example of French decorative design, combining classic elegance with subtle artistic glass decoration.
The glasses are made of high-quality, clear lead crystal containing over 24% lead oxide (PbO).
Particularly noteworthy are the harmoniously shaped, slender bowls and the highly decorative stems, adorned with satin-finished, milky-white elements shaped like delicate rosebuds.
The decorative bases feature a geometric, radially fluted design that effectively refracts and reflects light, highlighting the crystal’s refined character.
The combination of perfectly clear glass and matte decorative elements gives the glasses an exceptionally elegant, timeless appearance.
The Lucia (Frost Stem) model is among the discontinued designs by Cristal d’Arques – Durand.
