Key Features:

• Origin: Italian design, reflecting European craftsmanship and style

• Condition Note: Stopper broken; leather shows some damage and wear

This piece is particularly suited to those who appreciate items with a story and visible patina. The broken stopper and areas of leather damage are clearly noted and reflected in the price. These flaws do not detract from its decorative presence and may even enhance its vintage character for those who prefer a more lived-in, antique look. It can be displayed as-is, repurposed as a decorative bottle, or used with a replacement stopper if desired.

Design & Aesthetic

The decanter’s form is timeless: clean lines, balanced proportions, and a substantial feel that conveys quality. The leather wrap adds warmth and texture, softening the sleek surface of the glass and creating a beautiful contrast between materials. This combination makes the decanter particularly versatile in styling:

• Complements classic, traditional, or vintage interiors
• Adds a touch of luxury to mid-century modern or contemporary spaces
• Pairs beautifully with other leather, brass, and crystal bar accessories

Place it alongside cut crystal glasses, silver-plated bar tools, or vintage cocktail shakers to create an inviting, curated bar arrangement. Even empty, it serves as a sculptural object that enhances the ambiance of the room.

Perfect For:

• Collectors of Italian barware, leather-wrapped glass, or vintage decanters
• Homeowners looking to elevate their home bar or drinks trolley with a unique piece
• Interior stylists seeking a distinctive prop for photo shoots, film sets, or boutique displays
• Those who appreciate patina, character, and old-world charm in their décor

Condition Details (Please Read)

This is a pre-owned, vintage item and shows signs of age and use. Buyers who value pristine, unused pieces may wish to take note of the following:

• Stopper: The original stopper is broken. The decanter is being sold in this condition.
• Leather: The leather wrap shows some damage and wear, consistent with age and handling.
• Glass: The glass body generally presents well, but as with any vintage piece, minor signs of age or use should be expected.

Care has been taken to describe the condition honestly so you can buy with confidence. Please review all photos (if provided in the listing) to assess the condition and details that are most important to you.

Care & Use

Given the broken stopper and leather wear, many buyers choose to enjoy this decanter primarily as a decorative object. If you decide to use it for serving, we recommend gentle hand washing of the glass portion only and avoiding prolonged contact of the leather with water. A soft, dry cloth can be used to lightly dust the leather wrap.

Styling Inspiration
