Bohemian Crystal Covered Drageoir With Hunting Decor - 19th Century.

Bohemian crystal covered shooter with hunting decor - 19th century

Superb red-tinted Bohemian crystal covered sucker, finely engraved with hunting scene décor in a forest landscape.

The body is richly adorned with a finely executed wheel-chased decoration depicting a hunter accompanied by his two dogs, moving through the heart of a forest alive with deer, hinds and birds in full flight. The entire decoration develops into a continuous frieze, offering a lively and perfectly balanced scene, characteristic of quality Bohemian production in the 19th century.

The contrast between the deep red crystal and the reserved satin-finish engraving particularly highlights the details of the decoration, revealing precise, delicate workmanship. The lid, also engraved with stylized plant motifs, is topped by an elegant, perfectly proportioned grip.

The finely carved and balanced foot mount lends the ensemble a beautiful elevation and great decorative presence.

A showcase object par excellence, this candleholder will appeal as much for its rich iconography as for the quality of its execution.

Height: 35.5 cm
