Hi Kim,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

This is a St. Louis Trianon Cut Crystal Decanter, in lime to cut clear color, that has a sterling silver or silver plated collar.

St. Louis is one of the oldest and most prestigious crystal manufacturers in France, with a history dating back to 1586, making it a cornerstone of fine French glassmaking. Today, St. Louis is renowned for its luxury crystal, hand-cut patterns, and collaborations with designers for both tableware and decorative pieces. Their glass is highly collectible, prized for its clarity, brilliance, and precision cuts, and they often produce both classic and Art Deco designs.

The Trianon pattern is characterized by geometric, fluted cuts combined with softer, curved lines, often giving the crystal a very elegant, “palatial” feel—aptly named after the Trianon palaces at Versailles. The cuts catch and reflect light beautifully, emphasizing the clarity of the crystal. Like all St. Louis crystal, pieces in the Trianon pattern are hand-cut, requiring meticulous craftsmanship. This contributes to the pattern’s rarity and value.

When other St Louis Trianon decanters come to auction, they usually sell for between $150-200. It's worth noting that retailers with similar decanters are currently selling them for about $300.
