AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Large antique wine bottle, typical of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, shown here empty. The bottle has a characteristic high shoulder shape, with thick, slightly tinted glass in green tones. The bottle features a distinctive relief with a crest and recessed motifs on the upper part of the neck, a traditional detail of bottles from this appellation.

The still-present capsule is adorned with white printed motifs, including a crown and crossed keys, confirming the authenticity of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape production. The visible label is original, partially aged and worn, attesting to the bottle's age. It clearly reads: "Châteauneuf-du-Pape – Père Anselme". Additional mentions such as "Appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape contrôlée" and "Père Anselme" are partially legible, adding further vintage charm.

The glass surface shows a matte patina, with some signs of wear and deposit, typical of a bottle stored for a long time. No chips or cracks are visible on the side shown. The bottom of the bottle is not visible in the photo.

This empty bottle, with its antique appearance and original label, makes a decorative item with character. It evokes the world of wine and the winemaking tradition of southern France and will easily find its place in vintage decor, on a shelf, a bar, or in a display case.

The overall style, label, and patina suggest production likely dating from the second half of the 20th century, consistent with the vintage aspect mentioned in the keywords.
