"Tetard Brothers Paris, Solid Silver Chiseled Regency Style Tumbler Pedestal Appliques"
SILVERWAREVery heavy solid silver tumbler on pedestal with appliques, Regency style
*MINERVE hallmark (applied to solid silver in France from 1838 - a content greater than or equal to 925/1000) and goldsmith's hallmark to identify (on the edge around the pedestal). This is most likely a reproduction work from one of the great goldsmith workshops, featuring here 2 of the most successful and emblematic french models from 18th century silverware.
*Goldsmith's mark in a diamond shape T Fres topped with a pot for TETARD FRERES in Paris. This illustrious and renowned goldsmithing house was founded by Edmond TETARD at least in 1881, then taken over by his 3 sons Henri, Jacques, and Georges starting in 1903, who modified the mark to the current one. The goldsmith workshop perpetuated by the family closed in 1978.
The most surprising thing here is the very significant weight of the cup, 309g.
This is in fact a cast silver model, created from a mold of an original from early 18th century and the casting of silver into this mold. The cup was then completely and very finely redone in chasing.
Dimensions
9.7cm high and diameter 8.7cm (at the neck)
Very nice quality of detail and chiseling.
This is a reproduction work of one of the most famous goldsmith workshops in Paris, showcasing here 2 of the most successful and emblematic models of the 18th century French.
