A pair of antique Danish silver Georg Jensen candelabra, design #93 by Georg Jensen in 1918. The meticulous silversmithing showcased in these candelabra is truly remarkable, adorned with an abundance of intricately chased floral motifs and delicate beads. The fabrication process would have required a significant amount of time and skill, as each detail was carefully crafted by hand. Each candelabrum stands on a large round base supported by five elegantly designed feet resembling berries or buds. The hand-hammered stem is exceptionally thick, contributing to the overall grandeur of the design. Two gracefully curved arms extend from the stem, holding a substantial sconce...

Embossed and engraved silver coffee pot
Silversmith, probably Agostino Natoli
Diego Di Maggio, Silversmith Consul in 1789 and 1796
Palermo, 1789
It measures 14.17 in (36 cm) high and weighs 2.76 lb (1.252 g)

The large silver coffee pot has a round mouthpiece with a markedly everted rim, on which hinges a domed lid with very full molded pod shapes; a closed bud surmounted by a small sphere serves as a knob. The polygonal neck descends and widens into molded elements that come together, with larger pods, at the point where it is attached to the body. The body in turn is united to a well-shaped foot, which ends in a flat base with a vertical rim.
From the body rises a spout with a circular mouth accented with a thick rim. An angled loop, made of ebonized wood, is applied to the neck by means of a double-cone element having a sphere at its center; it ends in a silver cone...

Lapparra - 328pc. Antique French 950 Sterling Silver Flatware Set + Cabinet
By Lapparra Orfèvre Argentier
Located in Wilmington, DE
Direct from Paris, A Stunning 328 piece, Louis XVI French 950 Sterling Silver Flatware Set (Service for 24) by Henri Lapparra, "Silversmith to the French Elite", Includes a Magnificent 5-Drawer Wooden Storage Cabinet and 29 Serving Pieces, No Monograms, circa 1920s. The rich history of French silversmithing boasts many illustrious names, but few have left as indelible a mark as the renowned Lapparra family. For over a thousand years, this lineage of skilled artisans has crafted exquisite silverware that transcends mere utility, evolving into a symbol of luxury, artistry, and French cultural heritage. The story of the Lapparra family's silversmithing prowess begins in the early 10th century. By the 12th century, the Lapparra name had become synonymous with craftsmanship, and their workshops produced intricate chalices, candlesticks, and reliquaries for churches across France.
The 19th century witnessed the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the consolidation of his empire. The Lapparra silversmiths adapted to the imperial tastes, crafting magnificent pieces that showcased the grandeur of the First French Empire, like this amazing 328-piece flatware set. In addition, elaborate tea and coffee sets, dinnerware, and ornate presentation pieces were created for the imperial court, earning the family the coveted title of "Imperial Silversmiths." The Lapparra family's creations graced the tables of Napoleon's lavish banquets and adorned the Palais des Tuileries. Their innovative techniques, set new standards in silversmithing. Even after Napoleon's fall, the Lapparra legacy endured, as they continued to cater to the elite of Europe, from Russian tsars to British nobility.
The Lapparra family's enduring legacy extends far beyond their magnificent silverware. Their contributions to the world of silversmithing have left an indelible mark on French culture and the global art community. Their ability to evolve with the times while preserving their commitment to quality and craftsmanship has made them a symbol of artistic excellence. The Lapparra name is not only associated with opulence and luxury but also with innovation and artistic expression. Their influence can be seen in the work of countless contemporary silversmiths who draw inspiration from their rich history. The Lapparra family's legacy continues into the 21st century, as the family's artisans continue to produce exquisite silverware, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. With a renewed focus on custom creations and limited-edition series, they cater to collectors, museums, and connoisseurs worldwide.
This set is in extremely good condition with a magnificent wood storage cabinet and an amazing assortment of 29 serving pieces. Each of the main flatware pieces bear the hallmark of the French Government's "Head of the Minerva - 1" Hallmark, certifying a minimum of 950 sterling silver in addition to the Henri Lapparra manufacturer's sterling silver hallmark. Each of the vermeil dessert knives bears a Danish sterling silver hallmark and the manufacturer's hallmark (AR) engraved on the blades. The two salt cellars are by Odiot and also bears the French Government's Head of the Minerva 1 hallmark in addition to the Odiot sterling silver manufacturer's hallmark. The Stunning Wooden 5-Drawer Storage Cabinet Measures roughly 81 cm. in Height, 74 cm. Wide and 47 cm. Deep. Each Drawer is Independently Lockable. The Main Storage Chest Holds Approximately 200 Pieces and a Number of Smaller Modern Storage Chest...
