Master silversmith Paul Nicard received in 1729 Weight: 471 g Hallmarks: the hallmark of the master silversmith very well stamped on each end of the ears. The other punches readable on the edge of the cut. Very good condition Provenance: former Paul des Marez collection Very beautiful winged bowl whose radiating gadroon pattern is very modern. The rest of the body is very clean. The details of the initials punctuated by stars and the presence of a flower bring a touch of poetry to the whole.
