Of great classic elegance, these decanters receive an astonishingly modern hammered silver frame. They probably date from the beginning of the twentieth century and the taste known as "Art Deco".
Parisian goldsmith based at 157 rue du Temple, LAGRIFFOUL & LAVAL is a house specializing in tableware. In addition to a very elegant Art Deco solid silver production, we know of a large number of mounted crystal objects, generally made in collaboration with the BACCARAT house. The quality of these pieces is remarkable.
