A gilt-bronze and gilt-decorated glass liquor set French, late 19th/early 20th century

the hinged canopy opening to three large decanters surrounded by thirteen assembled liquor glasses. Two glasses lacking.

Overall good condition; the gilt-bronze stand with extensive tarnishing, wear and some minor green oxidation points; the glass pitcher with loss to gilt-highlight decoration at rim and minor scratches to stoppers; the glasses assembled and some with very minute chips to rims; the pagoda-shaped lid does not open--it will need to be unlocked by a professional locksmith.
