French Cut Crystal Decanter & Eight Tumblers - Gold Rimmed

A stunning example of mid-century French craftsmanship, this cut crystal decanter and matching tumblers bring the elegance of old-world entertaining straight into the modern home. With deep cross-hatching, vertical fluting, and brilliant clarity, this set captures light in a way only true cut crystal can—glimmering with every pour, every candle flame, every moment of gathering.

The decanter features a weighted square base, a faceted stopper, and finely executed cuts that mirror those of the tumblers, creating a perfectly cohesive set designed to impress. The tumblers themselves are tall, substantial, and beautifully balanced—ideal for everything from cocktails to sparkling water to evening whiskey.

Pieces like these were staples in French salons, gentlemen’s libraries, and dining rooms, where hosting was an art form and barware was expected to be both functional and exquisitely made.
