These glasses embody the quiet authority of early French crystal production. This was a period when form, balance, and light were approached with architectural precision. Each piece is meticulously cut. The facets are sharp and confident. They create a remarkable play of brilliance and refraction. The crystal remains exceptionally clear and radiant. It displays the luminous sparkle characteristic of high lead nineteenth century crystal.
Despite their age of more than one hundred years, the glasses are preserved in excellent antique condition. There may be subtle traces of time consistent with their history. These nuances do not detract from their beauty or functionality. Rather, they affirm authenticity and heritage.
What is most striking is their purity. The resonance of the cutting, the weight in the hand, and the unmistakable glow define the craftsmanship of nineteenth century Saint Louis.
An elegant and increasingly rare ensemble, ideal for a discerning collector of fine French crystal or for a table that honors history with quiet refinement.
