Elegant French Vinaigrette Holder with Decorative Solid Silver Stand. 19TH CENTURY.

Smart French oil and vinegar bottles with decorative solid silver cruet stand, from the 19th century. The set consists of two blown-glass original bottles, highly remarkable with their elegant lobed necks. Beautiful hollow caps also delicately made of blown glass. The caps are probably not the original ones. The magnificent engraved silver cruet stand shows a profuse decoration with vegetal motives and exquisite volutes, which also cover the handle with their delicate and wavy designs. On the front side of the bottles there are two oval shields, one on each, with a pearly fringe and without any engraving. The octagonal handle, crowned by a pineapple, is quite original and difficult to find in the pieces made in those years. The bottles rest on a lobed cruet stand with four small legs, decorated with the same engravings as the handle and the body. The stand has the French silver marks (Minerva 1) that attest to the date and place of making. All the parts are original and in perfect condition. Measurements: 25,5 x 24 x 11,5 cm.
