A magnificent hand-cut crystal vase of substantial size and weight (2.38 kg), featuring deeply faceted panels alternating with intricate diamond and starburst motifs. The rim is elegantly scalloped, showcasing the exceptional clarity and craftsmanship of early 20th-century crystal production, likely from the fine glassworks of Nancy or Bohemia.
The vase is mounted with an ornate silver-plated base richly decorated with repoussé floral and foliate scrolls, adding a touch of neoclassical refinement. Such pieces were often produced for the French and Central European luxury market between 1900 and 1930, combining masterful glass-cutting with elegant metalwork.

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.
