An ornate antique French cruet set in Rococo revival style, featuring an elegant silver-plated stand with sweeping scrollwork and a round finial handle. This sculptural table piece holds five original glass inserts: two tall flasks with flame-shaped stoppers for oil and vinegar, and three round condiment bowls, one with its original lid. Likely crafted around 1900, the stand is marked “Déposé”, indicating protected design status in France.
The silver-plated frame is a true showcase of Baroque-Rococo revival design, with finely cast details of acanthus leaves and scrolls. It stands confidently on four elaborate feet and adds instant grandeur to any dining setting or sideboard. Whether used for serving or as a collector’s centerpiece, it radiates timeless opulence.
Details:
• Dimensions: Overall height: 30 cm (11.8”); • Decanters: height 20 cm (7.9”); • Diameter of condiment bowls: approx. 6.5 cm (2.6”)
• Condition: Good antique condition. All glass pieces are present with no major cracks; one small lid included. The frame shows a visible split in the central ornament (see detailed photo) and some wear to the silver-plating consistent with age. Structurally intact and display-worthy. Please note: there is a visible fracture in the metal frame (see close-up photos), though the structure remains stable.

A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
