Particularly Baccarat Geisha Crystal Table Circa 1900

Baccarat Crystal Centrepiece – Geisha Subject, Circa 1900 Exceptional Baccarat cut and pressed crystal centrepiece, featuring a rare and delicate geisha figure, finely sculpted in satin-finished crystal. This spectacular piece, typical of Baccarat's luxurious production at the end of the 19th century, is distinguished by: A central frosted crystal figure representing a standing geisha, dressed in a kimono with finely worked pleats, traditional hairstyle raised, in an elegant posture. A circular base richly decorated with geometric friezes in relief. An upper bowl in clear cut crystal, surrounded by an engraved decoration with a Greek or Japanese motif, housing a large cone in the shape of a lotus flower or trumpet, also in blown crystal. The ensemble illustrates the taste of the time for oriental exoticism, very fashionable around 1900, combined with the impeccable technical and aesthetic quality of the great French crystal houses. ➤ Period: Circa 1900 ➤ House: Baccarat (unsigned, as was often the case before 1936) Condition: Excellent overall condition, minimal signs of use, no chips. ???? Note: It is rare to find this model complete with its three original elements: sculpted base + bowl + cornet vase.
