Pair Of Sparkling Water Siphons - Huet & Girard, Pantin / Gazard, Versailles - Circa 1900-1930

A charming pair of antique siphons in turquoise-tinted blown glass, each acid-etched with the name of its lemonade maker. These authentic objects, typical of early 20th-century French cafés, combine aesthetics, history, and artisanal craftsmanship. The first is engraved: "HUET & GIRARD – 164 Rue de Paris – Pantin – Sparkling Lemonade," a Parisian lemonade maker active at the turn of the century, famous for the quality of its sparkling waters and lemonades distributed in the Paris region. The second bears the inscription "GAZARD – Sparkling Lemonade – Versailles," a Versailles-based manufacturer of carbonated beverages, renowned for its elegant bottles and the finesse of its acid-etched markings. Both models feature their original nickel-plated metal taps, as well as the beautiful transparency of the blue glass, sought after by collectors and decorators.
