Silver Rattle-whistle With 4 Bells - 18th Century - Paris, Circa 1767–1770
18th-century solid silver rattle-whistle, featuring four faceted bells and an attachment ring.
The handle is made of rock crystal.
It bears a *jurande* (guild/assay) mark: the letter "D." The crowned "D" corresponds precisely to the annual cycle used by the Parisian guild of goldsmiths around 1767–1770.
It also carries a maker’s mark (the initials "PC" accompanied by a *différent*—a small, distinctive symbol).
Several Parisian master goldsmiths active in the 18th century used these initials, such as Pierre Chartier, Pierre-Claude Decour, or Pierre Charpenat.
Length: 135 mm
