This monumental 19th-century ormolu liqueur casket is exemplary of the masterful craftsmanship of the famed luxury firm Baccarat. The doors open to reveal a mirrored base and a glass rack that cradles four exquisite bottles with stoppers and sixteen glasses. The thickness and clarity of the cut glass, along with the exceptional and difficult-to-achieve hand-cut swirl pattern, showcases the high level of mastery for which the beloved French cristallerie is renowned. Monogrammed with the letter “S” and accented by opulent ormolu, the liqueur casket is a testament to Baccarat's enduring legacy of producing exquisite works of art.

Established by the Royal Decree of Louis XV in 1765, Baccarat has consistently produced glass and crystal works that have revolutionized and dazzled the industry. From the beginning, the company received numerous royal commissions from French nobility and aristocrats across Europe, most notably Czar Nicolas of Russia, Louis XV, Louis XVI and Napoleon. They won their first gold medal at the 1855 International Exhibition and have continued to carry off prizes at international exhibitions since. Today, antique works by this prestigious company are exceedingly rare, especially magnificent examples such as this.
