Dorgeuil : Rare 18th Century French Solid Silver Coffee Pot Bordeaux 1785-86
Artist: Jean-baptiste Dargeuil
A rare and elegant Bordeaux coffee pot in solid silver, resting on three hoof feet. The baluster-shaped body features a pretty spout with a fluted base and a matte finish. The lid is surmounted by a flower finial. It retains its original brown wooden side handle. The piece is well hallmarked (body and lid) with the Bordeaux 1781-79 hallmarks, the Bordeaux guild marks for 1785-86 (date letter "H" stamped with a crowned B), and the hallmarks of the master silversmith Jean-Baptiste Dargeuil, admitted in 1784. This rare and elegant Bordeaux coffee pot is in very good condition and remarkably hallmarked, with only minor scratches from use. For the discerning collector...
