Antique Oil And Vinegar Cruet Set In Cut Crystal And Solid Silver, Empire Style
Oil and vinegar cruet set in solid silver (800/1000) and cut crystal, made in Italy around the mid‑20th century in the Empire style.
The oval stand rests on four finely chiselled claw feet. Each mount, delicately decorated with egg‑and‑dart and palmette friezes, is supported by caryatid figures typical of neoclassical ornamentation.
At the centre rises an openwork handle adorned with two opposing dolphins whose intertwined tails form a ring, a symbol of prosperity.
The set includes two cut‑crystal bottles with fluted bodies and elongated pouring necks, each fitted with its faceted diamond‑shaped stopper.
Period: circa 1960.
Condition: excellent, very slight signs of use, complete with all original elements.
