A finely crafted late 19th-century Belle Époque decanter case, designed to resemble a stack of antique leather-bound books. The structure is made of wood, fully covered in tooled leather, replicating the spines, covers, and page edges with remarkable realism. The hinged-top book reveals a hidden compartment that houses a crystal decanter, adorned with delicate gold linear decorations. The stopper, shaped with precision, complements the elegant proportions of the bottle.
The contrast between the aged patina of the leather and the clarity of the glass adds to the refined aesthetic, characteristic of late 19th-century French craftsmanship. The piece balances decorative artistry with functional ingenuity, a testament to the era’s fascination with luxurious yet discreet design.
