About the Item

This exquisite 19th-century French silver sculpture is a finely crafted decorative piece featuring an elegant swan motif. The design centers around a gracefully sculpted swan with intricately detailed feathers, serving as the primary support for a shell-shaped dish. The swan’s curved neck and poised stance evoke a sense of refined beauty, reflecting the artistry of 19th-century French metalwork. Resting on an oval silver base, the composition is further adorned with delicate scrollwork and ornamental chains, adding to its opulent aesthetic. The scalloped shell dish is reminiscent of Rococo and Neoclassical influences, suggesting that this piece was likely used as a salt cellar, jewelry holder, or small decorative centerpiece. With its shimmering silver finish, intricate craftsmanship, and timeless elegance, this small sculpture embodies the sophistication of 19th-century French decorative arts, making it a stunning addition to any collection of antique silverware or objets d’art.
