AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This miniature bottle features a Courvoisier cognac bottle, identifiable by its characteristic label and compact bottle shape. The bottle is made of green tinted glass, with a slender neck topped with a metallic-looking red cap. On the upper part of the neck, a ring bears the inscription "LUXE" accompanied by three stars, indicating the "Trois Étoiles Luxe" range specific to the Courvoisier house. The front label is made of light-colored paper, with the text "COURVOISIER" in clearly visible red letters, followed by "TROIS ÉTOILES LUXE" and "COGNAC" in smaller characters. The brand's golden coat of arms, as well as various approval mentions, are also printed on the label.
The bottle, seen from the front, displays a sober and traditional design, typical of spirit miniatures from the early to mid-20th century. The glass tint and label typography evoke a vintage aesthetic, reinforced by the presence of an old-fashioned cap. The bottle is presented upright, in a case or box with a gilded and patinated decor, which highlights its decorative and retro character.
The details visible in the photo, such as the red cap, the neck ring, and the original label, are in good apparent condition, although signs of age can be observed, particularly on the label paper, which shows slight marks of time. No chips are visible on the glass, and the liquid level appears to be consistent with the original for an antique miniature bottle.
Legible inscriptions include: - "COURVOISIER" - "TROIS ÉTOILES LUXE" - "COGNAC" - "LUXE" (on the neck ring, surrounded by three stars) - Several mentions in small print, including "Supplier by appointment to H.M. the King of England" and "to the Royal Courts", indicating the brand's prestige at the time of bottling.
The presentation on a light background and golden frame highlights the decorative aspect of this miniature, ideal for a bar display case or a spirits shelf. The compact shape and retro finish of the bottle enhance its appeal for collectors of antique objects related to the world of cognac and fine spirits.
