Solid Silver Round Dish – Paris, Early 19th Century, Silversmith Jacques Fabre

Elegant round solid silver dish, 30 cm in diameter, weighing 915 grams. The scalloped rim design reflects the refined aesthetic of the late Louis XVI or early Directoire style.

The piece bears the following hallmarks:

• 1st Rooster Head (Coq 1er titre) – Paris, 1798–1809, indicating silver purity of 950/1000,

• Maker's mark of Jacques Fabre, registered in 1800, active at 49 Quai de l’Horloge, Paris, known for high-quality, classically inspired silverware,

• Plus two additional control marks, consistent with the post-Revolutionary assay system (likely jurande and guarantee marks).

This dish is a fine example of early 19th-century Parisian silversmithing, combining elegant form with excellent craftsmanship. It is in very good condition, with only light surface wear appropriate to its age.
