This year once again, the House of G.H. Mumm presents a limited edition work: the Sabre G.H. Mumm by Patrick Jouin. Patrick Jouin wrapped a stainless steel champagne sword with a beautiful red leather handle resembling Mumm’s signature Cordon Rouge. I was particularly intrigued by this because champagne swords are among the short list of items I am never allowed to play with… ever. But it’s a unique item that combines the sensuality of a red leather handle with the resistance of a steel blade but with a square end that won’t cut. This edition is presented in a box of pure white, of lacquered wood and leather, incorporating a tray, specially designed to hold ice and keep a bottle of Cordon Rouge at the ideal temperature.
