"Boin Taburet - Pair Of Ewers In Solid Silver And Cut Crystal. Period: 1880–1900"
An elegant
pair of ewers, crafted from blown and cut crystal with twisted ribs, mounted in
rich, finely chased solid silver. The mounts feature a decoration of foliate
scrolls, floral garlands, and oval medallions framed by Rococo motifs.The hinged lids are surmounted by sculpted fruit seeds; the sinuous handles have a graceful and balanced line. The feet are adorned with a delicate motif of acanthus leaves and palmettes, typical of the Neo-Louis XV style of the late 19th century.
Excellent condition — crystal clear, without cracks or chips, finely chased silver with a beautiful original patina.
This type of ewer exemplifies the refinement of tableware during the Third Republic, where French silversmiths—following in the footsteps of Froment-Meurice, Odiot, and Cardeilhac—combined the transparency of crystal with the decorative richness of sterling silver.
