Description from the seller

Exceptional centerpiece / mainly a crystal cut centerpiece from Val Saint-Lambert, the legendary 1913 series designed by Charles Graffart and executed under the direction of René Delvenne (artistic director of VSL at the time).
Extremely rare model in full 4-piece version (2 arcs and 2 S).

Lot composition:
Two 'Arc' elements
→ Length 17.5 cm – Height 5 cm – Weight 500 g
- 2 'S' elements (serpentine shape)
→ Length 25 cm – Height 5 cm – Weight 600 g each

Hand-carved decor: 'crosshatched' and 'beveled' motifs characteristic of the 1913 series, with scalloped serrated edges and exceptional shine.

Very good vintage condition.
No shine, no cracks. Some very light micro-scratches inside (almost invisible, normal after more than 100 years). Beautiful sound and transparency.

The 1913 Graffart & Delvenne series is one of the peaks of pre-Art Deco Belgian crystal; complete 4-piece sets are extremely rare on the market (most have been separated or broken). A museum piece for any serious collector of Val Saint-Lambert.

Total weight: 2200 g.
Ultra-secure worldwide shipping.
Personal hand delivery possible in the Liège region.
