18 Solid Silver Plates – Maison Odiot And Léonard Vincelet

Exceptional set of 18 solid silver plates—Maison ODIOT and Léonard Vincelet—featuring the coats of arms of the Montesquieu family and the Aucaigne de Sainte-Croix family.

A rare and prestigious set of 18 flat plates in first-grade solid silver (950/1000), comprising:
13 plates from the prestigious Maison Odiot, silversmith to the imperial and royal courts.
5 plates crafted by silversmith Léonard Vincelet, of identical design, made to complete the set.

Each plate is finely engraved with the combined coat of arms of the Montesquieu family and the Aucaigne de Sainte-Croix family, attesting to a commission made on the occasion of a union between these two ancient families of the French nobility. The coat of arms of the Aucaigne de Sainte-Croix family corresponds to the blazons listed in ancient armorials.
The quality of craftsmanship is remarkable, characteristic of 19th-century productions by Maison Odiot.
