Elegant Val Saint-Lambert crystal dressing table dish, signed on the base, featuring a delicate Louis XVI-inspired floral design in clear crystal, engraved and acid-etched on a raspberry pink background. The edges are vermiculated.
This design is referenced in trade catalogs under the name "Guirlandes".
This charming piece was intended to adorn dressing tables of yesteryear and was notably used to hold combs, brushes, hairpins, or small beauty accessories. Its elongated shape and simple lines perfectly highlight the fineness of the design, composed of flowery garlands and delicately satin-finished foliage.
The contrast between the translucent pink crystal and the matte white design testifies to the expertise of the Val Saint-Lambert workshops, renowned for the quality of their cut and engraved crystal creations in Seraing (Belgium) since 1826. This magnificent manufacture celebrates its 200th anniversary this year with beautiful exhibitions not to be missed!
A refined piece that will today find its place in a collection of Belgian crystal, on an antique dressing table or as an elegant decorative catchall.
