Queillé: Pair Of Engraved Glass Or Crystal And Openwork Solid Silver Alcohol Decanters. Early 19th Century

Charming pair of glass and solid silver decanters dating from the reign of Louis Philippe.

The ovoid body of the decanters is engraved with fruit-bearing branches, forming a frieze.

The silver mounts are very opaque. They are beautifully openworked with a trellis design supporting flowers.
The openwork is extremely delicate.

The neck mounts are mounted with a pin system, a sign of the quality of the silversmith's work.

The glass stoppers are also covered with an openwork mount that echoes the design of the decanter body.

Each decanter is hallmarked:
. Minerva 1st grade from before 1973 for 950/°° silver.

Goldsmith's mark: PQ with a double oar in the antique style for Pierre-François Queillé II, active from 1834 to 1846.

Examination of the hallmarks allows us to date these decanters between 1838 and 1846, during the reign of King Louis-Philippe.

Magnificent pair of decanters with a particularly remarkable openwork frame that brings charm and lightness to these objects.

19 cm high
8 cm maximum diameter

Capacity: approximately 35 cl

977 grams gross for the pair.

Very good condition. Minor scratches from use. One of the stoppers is probably not original because the frame, with a few minor defects, is a little large and shows traces of glue. However, it fits perfectly to the neck of its decanter.
