A superb early 20th-century cut crystal decanter featuring deep geometric engraving with starburst medallions, vertical fluting, and beveled edges. The decanter is topped with a matching cut-glass stopper and fitted with a polished silver collar adorned with a beaded rim.
The collar is marked with a five-pointed star and the number 48, likely indicating the workshop or design reference of the period. The crystal body is heavy and well-crafted, reflecting the high-quality standards of Edwardian decorative glassware.
A functional and highly decorative piece, ideal for storing fine spirits or enhancing a barware collection.

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.
