Exquisite silver Vinaigrette with a delicate gilt interior and fine openwork, characteristic of 19th century French silverware. These small scented boxes were used to hold scented vinegars or aromatic salts, popularised among the aristocracy and bourgeoisie as a luxurious and functional accessory.
This particular piece belongs to the late French Empire period (1804-1830), a style influenced by the neoclassical grandeur promoted by Napoleon Bonaparte. The understated lines and refined craftsmanship reflect the elegance and sense of prestige of the period.
The turtle stamp on the silver indicates that it was made in France between 1819 and 1838, within the 2nd Northeast/Northeast departments of France. Its hinged lid and fantastic interior design reveal the mastery of the silversmiths of the time, combining functionality and beauty in a unique collector's item.
A must for lovers of antique silverware and historical objects of great aesthetic and cultural value.
