Description
A small masterpiece of transparency and light that seems to have come from a vanity table of yesteryear. This refined cylindrical casket in solid cut crystal is a tribute to the timeless elegance of the historic Baccarat crystal factories.
The body of the object is sculpted with deep vertical grooves (canneté work), which not only slenderize the shape but also capture natural light, multiplying it into infinite sparkles. Further enhancing the structure is a finely chiseled gilded metal band that encircles the neck of the container, creating a warm and luxurious contrast with the coolness of the crystal.
The lid is a detail of pure class: the scalloped crown-like upper edge gives the piece a noble air, recalling the Neoclassical style and the splendors of the Charles X and Napoleon III periods. In excellent vintage condition, it is perfect as a jewelry box, cotton holder, or simply as a decorative object to add a note of historical prestige to a bathroom or bedroom.
