Antique 19th Century French solid silver figural statue, beautifully modelled depicting a resting bull on an ebony base. The sculptural figure is modelled to the highest quality, undoubtedly by one of the best French sculptors and silversmiths of the period. Hallmarked French silver (Minerva 950 standard), unsigned, but attributed to Pierre-Louis Rouillard and Eugene Capy, Christofle, Paris, c.1860. (for a similar sculpture see, Sotheby's, 19th century Furniture, Sculpture, Ceramics, Silver & Works of Art, 22nd April 2010, New York, lot 48) The story of the firm Christofle began in 1830 when Charles Christofle (1805 - 1863) arrived in Paris from Lyons to join his brother-in-law’s jewellery firm. When his brother-in-law died in 1837, Charles took over the business which became, within a few years, one of the most successful and popular silver brands of the last two centuries. The turning point for the firm arrived in 1841 when, with the financial help of his sister Rosine Bouilhet, Charles bought from George and Richard Elkington the license to import and use in France their revolutionary electroplating system and started employing very skilled craftsmen and designers such as Mathurin Moreau (1821 - 1912) and Èmile Reibere (1826 - 1893). The first royal appointment arrived in 1844 when Louis Philippe ordered new tableware for his palaces. In 1855 Charles received from the Emperor Napoleon III the commission for a gold-plated dinner service for the Elysée Palace and a more than 1200 pieces service for the Tuileries palace. Charles Christofle also promoted his business exhibiting at the International Fairs and gaining important commissions from abroad including the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and the Emperor Maximilian of Mexico...

A rare and highly collectible equestrian desk accessory produced by Hermès Paris, France, circa 1955. Combining the functionality of a letter opener and ruler, this elegant object is distinguished by its striking two-tone design, featuring a sculptural silver-toned horse head mounted on a contrasting gilt-metal body. The interplay between the two finishes creates a sophisticated visual contrast, enhancing the sculptural character of the piece while reflecting the refined craftsmanship associated with Hermès. Executed by the renowned French silversmith Ravinet d'Enfert and marked Hermès Paris, this desk accessory embodies the timeless elegance and attention to detail that have defined the French luxury house for generations. The horse head is modelled with remarkable expressiveness, showcasing finely rendered features, flowing mane details, and a dynamic presence that immediately evokes the maison’s celebrated equestrian heritage. Founded in Paris in 1837 as a harness and saddlery workshop, Hermès has maintained a deep connection to the world of horsemanship throughout its history. This letter opener is a particularly appealing example of that tradition, transforming an everyday object into a sculptural and highly decorative work of functional design. Particularly desirable is the unusual combination of silver and gilt finishes, a detail seldom encountered in Hermès desk accessories...
