A pair of crystal decanters featuring a stately rectangular base and graceful narrow necks made of sterling silver. Artfully engraved motifs of foliage and flora adorn the body and stopper, the latter crafted thicker than the vessel to allow for a smooth opening and pouring. This fine crystal glass caught in gleaming silverwork masterfully combines form and function.

The sleek geometric design and stylized floral patterns reflect the elegant aesthetic of the early 20th century Art Déco movement in the United Kingdom, which embraced lavish ornamentation with a modern sensibility.

As shown in the images, stains on the silver can be seen which are common due to the passing of time and use. less
