Sixte Simon Rion: Original Large Faceted Silver Timpani. Early 19th Century.
Artist: Sixte-simon Rion
A very interesting cup made by the renowned Parisian silversmith Sixte-Simon Rion.
It rests on a flat base. The lower half of the cup is faceted; the upper half is plain silver with a very flared rim.
It is engraved "Ecoffet," probably the name of its first owner.
The cup bears the following hallmarks:
Old man's hallmark for 950/1000 silver in Paris
Sixte-Simon Rion's silversmith's mark, active from 1824 to 1834
Large guarantee mark of the city of Paris for 1819-1838
A magnificent cup of very high quality, as always with this renowned silversmith. It is heavy, substantial, and particularly rare, especially interesting for its two-tiered decoration.
9 cm high
9 cm wide at the rim
169.7 grams
Very good condition. Minor signs of use with a slightly more visible mark under the bowl.
