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.
