1820s Silver and Crystal Double Salt Cellar
About the Item
This exquisite antique French salt cellar is a stunning example of 19th-century silversmithing, combining refined craftsmanship with timeless elegance. Made of fine silver and crystal, and bearing the prestigious Vieillard hallmark (used in Paris between 1819 and 1838), this piece is a testament to the high standards of French decorative arts during the Restauration period.
The salt cellar features an oval silver base raised on four finely detailed ball feet, adorned with delicate beaded and gadrooned borders, adding a touch of sophistication and neoclassical charm. At the center, a beautifully turned silver handle with a beaded ring top allows for easy handling while providing a striking vertical visual element. The two crystal liners are elegantly nestled in silver mounts, each supported by fluted silver bases that harmoniously echo the overall design.
The hand-blown crystal inserts exhibit subtle vertical fluting and a delicately scalloped rim, perfectly complementing the ornate silver structure. These removable crystal bowls are ideal for holding salt, mustard, or other condiments, making the piece both practical and highly decorative.
Perfect for collectors of fine French silver or crystal tableware, this rare piece reflects the elegance and luxury of early 19th-century Parisian craftsmanship. Its excellent condition and historical significance make it a truly desirable addition to any antique collection or sophisticated dining décor.
