A magnificent and very rare undamaged service of c.1830 Louis Philippe era Baccarat crystal for liqueur service. The 8 stemware goblets are larger than cordials, suitable for Sautern or brandy, cognac. Each holds about 3 oz rather than 2. The decanters are typical size for French liqueur service (Measurements are noted on the photos) and the entire set is as close to perfect as any we've ever seen. Yes, took me years to put together this set and it is from my own bar. As you can see from the 1930 Baccarat reference catalogue page I've attached, we're certain of the date. I've paid as much as 120 euro per stem to get this larger size. In the group photo you can see them alongside a smaller set with 1 decanter and 4 more typical cordial stems (sold separately). I think you will, as I have been, be very pleased with this opulent set at your table, office, or just refracting light in your display of Baccarat crystal.
The large wine decanter with gold metal stopper and a large goblet are sold separately as a set (2pc) and so is the other liqueur decanter and its 4 smaller cordial stem goblets - look for them all. They're very hard to find in sets! These have been my bar sets. Downsizing my own antiques now.
Excellent condition for age and type. Each is wheel cut, and the stoppers are works of art. Both are numbered, without damage apart from one very tiny edge nip on one of the cut sharp edges - more to be found with fingers than with eyes, it's so small. I imagine if you run fingers over all of those diamond points, you might find another very tiny nipped point or two. It's amazing to think these are almost 200 years old and survive in such superb condition. This is my personal set. Don't miss it!
Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We're easy to deal with.
Shipping and Handling Policy:
You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you're thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.
We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. Ebay is now requiring that our clients rank us on "shipping". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we'll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.
Insurance has been eliminated as an option by ebay, forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replaceable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!
Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is received (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat .00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
