Marquise de Sevigne Paris Silver Plate Candy Bowl Serving Dish

About the Item

This rare Art Deco silver plate candy bowl was hand-crafted for A La Marquise De Sévigné, the finest Paris chocolate store in the 1930s. The round Art Deco modernist shape has stylized deer heads on both sides as handles. The candy serving dish is stamped on the underside with the store logo. This lovely decorative bowl is a fine example of the limited edition gift packaging the company issues yearly for Christmas. The model differs each year, and the store commissioned the finest artists to create those gift presentation pieces. Over the decades, the style follows the trend of the period in terms of design and is considered a highly collectible object. The candy dish is in good condition, with minor wear on the metal on the inside. Check the close-up. Measurements: 10.44 in wide (26.5 cm) x 7.88 in deep (20 cm) x 2.75 in high (7 cm). Note: A La Marquise De Sévigné was founded in Royat (center of France) in 1892 by Clémentine and Auguste Rouzaud. Marquise de Sévigné chocolates, with their signature blue boxes, are among the most recognizable French chocolates. At the end of the 19th Century, the French poet and writer Edmond Rostand (1868–1918) was residing in Vichy in Le Pavillon de Sévigné, a former residence of Madame de Sévigné in the 17th Century, when CClémentinesent him a box of their finest chocolate assortment. That event gave rise to renaming the company A la Marquise de Sévigné. The chocolatiers gradually became famous. The pair started exporting their chocolates overseas shortly after opening 11 new establishments in France between 1900 and 1914. The company remained in the same family until the late 1960s, when it was sold to a large food group. In 1973, the Burrus family repurchased the company, which has been an artisan chocolate maker since 1911. The chocolate store opened by Madame Rouzaud on Place de la Madeleine in Paris remains the company's flagship store.
