French Antique Laurel & Swag Crystal Guilloché Champagne Coupes, Set of 8

Invite the timeless sophistication of the Belle Époque to your bar cart with this rare set of eight antique champagne coupes. Featuring a delicate and intricate needle-etched "Laurel and Swag" pattern, known in French as Guirlande de Laurier, meticulously rendered using the guilloché (needle-etching) technique. This labor-intensive process produced a design far finer and more ethereal than later mass-produced glassware.

The coupes feature a graceful, wide bowl that sits atop a slender baluster stem. Whether used for a classic French 75 or a vintage-style champagne toast, they add an air of historic grandeur to every pour.

While the "Laurel and Swag" motif was a cornerstone of prestigious French houses like Baccarat and St. Louis circa 1890–1910, its popularity inspired master craftsmen in the premier American "Elegant Glass" ateliers of the 1920s. This set—rare for remaining a complete group of eight—captures that specific moment in design history where European artistry met the spirited energy of the Jazz Age.

Their versatile silhouette makes them equally perfect for serving craft cocktails, sparkling wine, or even elegant chilled desserts.
