The finely chased decoration on a matte background reveals very high-quality silversmithing: scrolls and cartouches in the style of "BERAIN" unfold with elegance, while the handles sculpted with foliate mascarons add relief and character to the whole. The domed lid, topped with a gadrooned handle, harmoniously completes the composition.
The matching stand, generously proportioned, rests on four scrolled feet adorned with finials. It echoes the same scalloped lines and delicate moldings, offering perfect visual unity and a spectacular table setting.
An emblematic work of the Boin Taburet firm, this piece brilliantly illustrates the revival of 18th-century styles in late 19th-century French silverware. A ceremonial terrine, intended for grand reception tables, combining prestige, elegance, and craftsmanship.
