CRISTALLERIES DE SAINT-LOUIS

Duo of "Thistle d'or" Champagne and ice buckets Set in blown crystal, the neck enhanced with a 24-carat gold thistle frieze and the body with a handle on either side, the base richly cut. Exceptional quality, seldom or never used. Acid-etched signature under the base. This model was made in 1908. The thistle was the inspiration for the design of this service, specially created for the 1908 Nancy exhibition, in the height of Art Nouveau. Later, as a result of the Entente Cordiale, Chardon became Thistle and shone on the finest tables. (New catalog value: €2,210 for the Champagne bucket and €1,260 for the ice bucket). Dimensions: 21 x 23 x 23 and 15 x 17 x 16 cm Sold without reserve price, starting price 10 €. Pick-ups by appointment only
