Pair of silver mounted antique crystal decanters by Tétard
By Tétard Frères (French, founded 1880)
£3,500
These antique crystal decanters, featuring beautifully intricate silver work by the celebrated Tétard Frères, would make a fine addition to any elegant sideboard.
Each decanter in the pair is of typical form, both crafted from crystal engraved with superb swirling designs and set with scrolling foliate silver mounts. The pierced silver mounts encompass the lower half and the neck of each decanter. The stopper of each is formed as a silver sphere with moulded and engraved foliate decorations. Each of the bottles is draped with a white, floral plaque suspended from a chain which is labelled 'Sherry' or 'Whiskey'.
Each bottle bears the Minerva hallmark, as well as the mark for Tétard Frères.
