A striking pair of contemporary faceted crystal decorative objects showcasing exceptional clarity and bold geometric design. The lot includes a substantial oval faceted crystal paperweight or display sculpture together with a heavily cut square crystal block featuring deeply carved scalloped and geometric edges. The larger oval example is masterfully fashioned with broad, precision-cut facets that beautifully refract and diffuse light, creating subtle prism effects and an elegant sculptural presence. Its generous scale makes it equally suitable as a paperweight, desk accessory, or standalone decorative object. Accompanying the oval piece is a thick square crystal form with deeply carved decorative sides and polished surfaces. The architectural design and substantial weight lend it a distinctly modern aesthetic, making it suitable as a display object, paperweight, or decorative accent. Both examples exhibit the brilliant optical qualities associated with fine lead crystal and complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. Sold together as one lot. Approximate dimensions: • Oval crystal: approximately 5 inches high. • Square crystal block: approximately 2¼ inches square.

  • Literature: Large faceted crystal decorative objects became increasingly popular during the latter half of the twentieth century as luxury desk accessories and sculptural décor. Influenced by the precision cutting techniques perfected by European crystal houses such as Baccarat, Saint-Louis, Orrefors, and Swarovski, these substantial crystal forms emphasize optical brilliance through polished geometric facets and minimalist design.
  • Circa: Late 20th century.
  • Condition: Overall very good vintage to contemporary condition. The large faceted oval crystal displays well with light signs of handling. The square cut crystal block exhibits scattered minor surface scratches and light wear visible upon close inspection, consistent with age and use. No significant chips or cracks observed. Overall an attractive decorative pair that presents exceptionally well.
