Description
L.T. PIVER - PARIS, Miniature ‘Baccara’ bottle in colourless moulded-pressed glass, with a ‘King of Hearts’ label; a fragrance created in 1946 by Thierry Godilliot, late 1940s – 1950s - Height approx. 7 cm (signs of wear, traces of previous contents, sold as is)
NB: Included are business cards from the famous house founded in 1774.
COMMENT ON BACCARA: L.T. Piver launched “Baccara” in 1946, under the direction of Thierry Godilliot. Some databases date it to 1959, but this figure likely refers to a second launch or to the version that received an official award — Thierry Godilliot was indeed awarded the Prix de la France on 12 March 1959, at a time when Baccara featured in the firm’s current catalogue.
COMMENTARY ON L.T. PIVER: L.T. Piver is a house whose origins date back to 1774; it was an official supplier to the Court of Versailles and received royal warrants from William IV of England, Louis-Philippe I, and numerous European courts. Some of their creations, housed in prestigious bottles designed by Lalique or Baccarat, have become highly sought-after collector’s items.
