Rare Crystal Square Shape Delicate Pair Silver Ewers Mounted by Boivin C.1900

About the Item

Pair of very refined ewers in engraved crystal beautifully mounted, part of the silver sterling base is like lace! a work that few silversmiths could do. The octagonal base is decorated with symmetrical rocaille patterns such as interlaces and vegetal swirls, palm leaves, cartouches, flowers, shells, etc. This very delicate work was made by a french talented silversmith Victor Boivin. Each ewer is stamped with the French silver guaranty hallmark on the lid and one ewer is signed beneath with the silversmith hallmark "VB" and the other one is numbered. Wonderful work of the late made circa 1900. Victor Boivin followed in 1897 the path opened by his father Jules Boivin, also a silversmith and owner of a Parisian workshop. He is specialized in table items and is active until the early 20th. Good to know his brother is world well-known for his creation of very precious jewels for collectors.
