About the Item
This exceptional pair of German Solid Sterling silver coolers, crafted in the year 1890, stands as a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of their time. Created in the renowned workshops of Hanau by the skilled silversmith S. Rosineau and masterfully engraved by the celebrated artisan Juste Aurele Meissonnier, these coolers are a true embodiment of artistic excellence.
Crafted from solid sterling silver, these coolers bear a remarkable weight, testifying to their durability and quality. The level of detail and artistry displayed in their construction is truly breathtaking. The coolers exhibit a captivating hammered texture, a testament to the meticulous handwork that went into their creation.
The distinctive bellied shape of these coolers adds to their charm, featuring two elegantly designed handles. These handles portray mythical ocean creatures that are part human and part fish, their sinuous tails intertwined in a graceful dance. These mesmerizing creatures hold within their grasp two mythical sea beings, adding a touch of enchantment to the piece. The entire surface of the coolers is adorned with intricate chasing, featuring bacchic and marine figures that further enrich their visual appeal.
Each of these coolers is a substantial work of art, weighing an impressive 76.70 ounces, and bears the appropriate hallmarks to authenticate their sterling silver composition. Beyond their original intended use for cooling beverages, these versatile pieces can also double as exquisite vases, allowing for a variety of decorative possibilities.
In conclusion, these 1890 German Sterling silver coolers, created by the esteemed artisans S. Rosineau and Juste Aurele Meissonnier, are not just functional objects; they are masterpieces of silverwork that bridge the gap between utility and artistry. Their weight, intricate design, and impeccable craftsmanship make them a true treasure for collectors and connoisseurs of fine silverware, offering a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the late 19th century.
