About the Item

A scarce pair of fine quality antique Bohemian parcel gilt enameled light cobalt blue glass decanter bottles, exquisitely decorated for the Persian market. circa 1890 Handmade in Bohemia (present day Czech Republic) in the late 19th century, home to arguably the world's best glass artisans and painters, attributed to the renowned luxury glass maker Moser Glassworks, the exceptionally executed decanters feature an elongated steeple-form stopper resting in a gilded ring neck, the bulbous body elaborately decorated with decadent gold gilding and intricate, brilliant polychrome painted enamel floral, foliate and scroll patterns, surrounding a central portrait medallion, depicting Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (1831-1896), the Shah of Persia until his assassination in 1896. The ruling Imperial family was frequently admired in decorative arts which lead to the creation of Qajar art, referring to the art, architecture, and art forms of the Qajar dynasty, which lasted from 1781 to 1925. These rare and magnificent examples are a bold representation of why Bohemian art glass is so highly sought after. Richly decorated in period Art Nouveau taste, the hand blown art glass, intricate enameling and opulent gilding is truly superb, with quality and detailing second to none.
