Exceptional antique decorative goblet dating to the late 19th century, executed in high-quality clear glass with rich cobalt-blue enamel accents and hand-applied gilded decoration.
The body is finely faceted and decorated with repeating medallions filled with gilt floral and scroll motifs. The rim is finished with a gold band, while the stem and foot display precise geometric cutting typical of luxury European glassmaking of the period.
This piece was produced as a decorative or ceremonial glass rather than everyday tableware and reflects the high level of craftsmanship associated with late 19th-century decorative arts.

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.
