Antique French Solid Silver Parcel Gilt Beaker Cup Engine Turned Engraved 19th c

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this fine antique solid silver beaker made in France in the late 19th century. The beaker features a wonderfully ornate and impressive design of interweaving motifs, created by a spectacular engine-turned work. Additionally, the beaker is parcel gilt (areas of silver and silver-gilt for contrast), leaving the main body a darker silver colour due to the engraving and the accenting parts to be gilded. This creates an impressive illusion of depth and is a testament to its intricacy and craftsmanship. Owing to its versatile nature and ornate design, this piece could be use both as a practical drinking vessel or as part of an interior display to elevate the ambience of any setting. The inside is fully silver gilt with a rich gold tone which not only complements the overall appearance but prevents the contents held within from reacting and tarnishing the silver. The front of the beaker is wonderfully hand-engraved with a floral accent blending into a vacant cartouche. Overall a wonderfully elegant piece of French silver with fine decorations on a practical and versatile piece. The beaker is marked with the French Minerva hallmark near the top edge on the upper band. *All images with other items are for display purposes; this listing is for the title item only.
