We offer you this superb Napoleon III liqueur cabinet, accompanied by its original table and its complete Baccarat service.
The box, with its harmonious silhouette, is a masterpiece of cabinetmaking:
-
ebonized wood marquetry with gilded fillets,
-
mother-of-pearl inlays with opalescent reflections,
-
central diamond typical of prestige commissions,
-
deep red wood interior, perfectly preserved,
-
original hardware, noble patina, understated elegance.
Placed on its display table, itself decorated with finely chiselled bronzes, this ensemble forms a complete architecture: a piece of furniture, a case, a ritual.
A treasure signed Baccarat
The heart of the box houses a high-quality Baccarat crystal service, entirely complete:
-
four engraved and cut Baccarat decanters,
-
sixteen sparkling and perfectly matching Baccarat glasses,
-
original supports, trays and uprights.
Finding a complete Second Empire Baccarat service is already rare.
Finding it in its original box, placed on its period table, in such a pristine condition, is almost unprecedented on the international market.
A Second Empire legacy
This ensemble embodies all that the reign of Napoleon III had to offer that was most sumptuous:
the virtuosity of artisans, the fascination with light, discreet but absolute luxury.
Intended for a high-end interior:

a Haussmannian living room,
-
a 5-star hotel suite,
-
an executive office,
-
a prestigious collection,
-
an architect's decor.
With each opening, the box unfolds a shimmer of gold, mother-of-pearl and crystal — like a small imperial theatre.
