Precious 19th Century French Solid Silver Bomboniere.

Beautiful and Decorative 19th Century French Bonbonniere in perfect condition. Body with lobed form with profuse decoration highlighted in lid, handles and base. The base is decorated with vegetal forms that appear perfectly distributed in four legs that collect an oval medallion wrapped in scrolls and scrolls decoration. The handles continue this vegetal decoration of leaves and sinuous elements. On the lid there is a decoration with a small line of small balls and vegetal forms that runs along the contour, and crowned at the top by a beautiful and elaborate flower. It is presented in perfect condition, without any scratches, marks or apparent breakage, and with the marks of the silver that attest to its date and location (Minerva). This type of decorative objects had a practical function, as in this case to contain chocolates or other type of candy, but they are pieces whose main purpose was to show the economic and social power of those who could afford such expensive pieces. A large number of pieces are developed, such as sugar bowls, bonbonnieres or sauce dishes, which follow the fashion of the time and denote the taste and social position of the family. Precious object of collection that will undoubtedly give prestige to the place where it is placed.Measures: 16 x 20 cm (including handles); x 14 cm (without handles). Total weight: 545 gr.
