Baccarat and Christofle are two illustrious names in the world of luxury decor. Baccarat, renowned for its exceptional crystals since its founding in 1764, has consistently produced high-quality glassware and chandeliers that have adorned royal courts and elegant homes worldwide. Christofle, established in 1830, has been a leader in the field of silverware and table service, known for its innovative designs and impeccable line of work. Together, these brands represent the pinnacle of french luxury and artistry.
This late 19th-century Rococo Revival epergne centerpiece exemplifies the grandeur and attention to detail that both Baccarat and Christofle are celebrated for. The piece features a large, silvered metal base depicting a reclining child in a gazebo-like setting adorned with intricate floral and vegetal elements. The child points towards the sky, adding a dynamic and whimsical touch to the composition. Atop the base are four cut crystal compote bowls and a central tall crystal vessel These bowls can serve as decorative elements or functional containers for various items. The entire piece is supported by four small legs, with hallmarks and the Christofle signature found beneath one of them.
Collecting such a piece means owning a part of history, a representation of an era where art and functionality seamlessly merged. The centerpiece is more than just an object; it is a conversation piece, a focal point that draws admiration and invites discussion about the rich legacy of french decorative arts. For the discerning collector, this Baccarat and Christofle work offers an opportunity to own a unique symbol of iconic design and quality craftsmanship, preserving the timeless beauty of the late 19th century.
