Silver-plated tureen, liner and stand, late 19th century, Thomas Germain style

About the Item

Elegant silver-plated tureen with its removable liner and matching stand, crafted in the 20th century. The body features a central crowned coat of arms in high relief, framed by finely sculpted scrolls. Boar’s head handles add a striking sculptural element to the piece. The shaped stand is engraved with acanthus leaves and a central coat of arms surrounded by laurel swags. This ensemble is a loose interpretation of a renowned tureen by Thomas Germain (1673–1748), the great Parisian silversmith of the Louis XV era also was the supplier to all the courts of Europe. Germain’s work exemplifies the grandeur and refinement of 18th-century French goldsmithing. While not an exact replica, this piece pays homage to the opulence and ornamental brilliance of the French Rococo style. The original tureen is housed in the Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

By Luc Lanel
Located in Paris, FR
Caviar service in silver-plated metal, designed by Luc Lanel for the legendary Normandie ocean liner, inaugurated in 1932. A symbol of the golden age of Art Deco style, this service reflects the excellence of French craftsmanship and the understated elegance that characterized the pieces of silverware created for this floating palace. The Normandie liner, a true masterpiece of 1930s engineering and design, was decorated by the greatest artists of its time. The works created for this exceptional ship, now preserved in museums or private collections, stand out for their elegant durability, perfect balance of volumes, and remarkable geometric simplicity. This caviar service exemplifies these qualities, where each detail—from its delicate shape to its precise contours—imbues the piece with its full decorative splendor.
