The model name "Richelieu" comes from Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister who supported the monarchy and laid the foundation for the nation in 17th century France. His intellectual and disciplined persona is superimposed on the well-balanced form and restrained decorative expression of this work. Sharp vertical cuts, which symbolize Richelieu, are applied just below the mouth and to the lower half of the body. With this two-tiered cut, light is reflected and refracted in a complex and beautiful way, creating a deep brilliance even with the restrained decoration. The contrast with the smooth curves of the upper part tightens the form, and the result is a finish that highlights Baccarat's unique crystal-clear transparency and weight. It has a heavy crystal stopper with multi-faceted cuts, and is a masterpiece that boasts a high degree of perfection as a decanter for wine, brandy, and whiskey, as well as a crystal for appreciation that evokes the spirit of the French classical style. This is a work from before 1936, so it does not have the Baccarat stamp. 【Dimensions】 Height: Approximately 28cm 【Condition】 There are minor age-related scratches and slight clouding on the inner side, but it is in beautiful condition.
