Pair of Wine Carafes, Saint-Louis, Model: Joseph, Period: Art Deco

This is a delightful blue-lined cut crystal decanter, the "Eurydice" model. This model was featured in the 1904-1905 catalogue of the famous Belgian crystal manufacturer Val Saint Lambert. With its high, conical shape and rich workmanship, this model is one of the most famous by this great company.  Period: Early 20th century Dimensions: Height: 41.5cm - Base diameter: 10cm   In 1826, two employees of the Vonêche crystal works set up their own crystal works in the Val Saint Lambert abbey.  François Kemlin was a chemist and Auguste Lelièvre a polytechnician. The site on the banks of the Meuse was well chosen.   The region was active in metallurgy and it would be easy to obtain the lead needed to make crystal. Thanks to the financial support of Guillaume d'Orange and Baron Joseph de Bonaert, the Société anonyme des Verreries et Établissements du Val Saint-Lambert was created.  It was bought out in 1836 by Société Générale de Belgique, and its products were soon exported all over the world.  At the Brussels Exhibition of Belgian Industrial Products in 1841, Val Saint Lambert won a gold medal for its pure, refined and colourful crystal. At the end of the 19th century, Val Saint Lambert presented crystal creations with geometric motifs for the first time.  The success was phenomenal.  The company built huge hangars and a hundred houses for the workers. It modernised with electric lighting, a gasworks and a railway line to the factory. The factory was at its peak at the beginning of the 20th century. Crystal virtuosos such as Dieudonné Masson rubbed shoulders with the crème de la crème of designers, the Muller brothers from Nancy or Gallé and Daum...

Rare and very elegant pair of silver bronze bookends entitled: "Pierrots". (Max Le Verrier commercial catalogue, 1925, N° 466 Page 18, for the same model). These perfectly symmetrical figures are enhanced by a "Portor" marble base. Portor is a very rare marble that has been used in Italy and Corsica since Antiquity.  It is characterised by a dark black colour with a very yellow vein, a sort of golden sinuosity.  It seems that it owes its name to the town of Porto Venere on the coast of Genoa, where Louis XIV had the quarries exploited for the decoration of Versailles.  This marble was widely used in the 17th, 18th and 20th centuries, particularly for Art Deco creations, on beautiful furniture, objets d'art and fireplaces.   Description Period: Art Deco  Circa: 1930 Dimensions : Total height : 20,5cm                        Bronze height : 17,5cm                       Base dimensions : Height : 3cm x Width : 9cm x Depth : 6,5cm Signature : M.
