Terrin - Aesthetics of Early Art Nouveau - Alpaka sølvbelagt - Fransk historistisk stil

En elegant og storslået suppeterrine (eller punchbowle) til bordet, et stykke der vækker mindet om præsentationen og raffinementet i den grandiose spiseudstyr fra sene 1800-tallet og begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede. Dens design kombinerer overdådigheden i klassiske franske former, ideelt for samlere eller til at pryde formelle bordborde.
-Type of object: Soup Tureen/Punch Bowl with lid.
-Origin/School: France (attributable to French silversmithing workshops specializing in high-end tableware for the bourgeoisie).
-Period: Historicist Period, with a strong influence and aesthetic of the Belle Époque (late 19th to early 20th century; 1890-1930).
-Style: Historicist Eclecticism. The body emulates the sobriety of Neoclassicism and the French Empire style, while the handles adopt the fluidity and appreciation for nature (marine and floral motifs) so characteristic of the Belle Époque and early Art Nouveau.
-Material: Alpaca (German silver / maillechort in France)
-Technique: Turned and embossed for the spherical body; cast and chased for the applied ornamental elements (handles, feet, and knob). Final finish: mirror polished.
-Marks/Stamp: Features the "ALPACA" stamped in two areas: on the outer center of the tureen's base and on the inner reverse of the lid, next to the central rivet.
-French Ornamentation and Design: The piece stands out for its carefully considered balance between the clean lines of its structure and the ornate details:
*Body and Lid: Large, completely smooth, and bare convex surfaces, designed to reflect ambient light, a highly valued feature in period dining rooms.
*Handles and Knob: Three spectacular cast pieces that clearly reflect the Belle Époque influence. They feature a design of seashells (stylized rockwork) embraced by leaf motifs, openwork vegetal scrolls, and small floral details on the fittings.
*Legs: Four raised supports adorned with scrolls and organic foliage textures that subtly curve outwards, giving the tureen the elegance of a piece of palace silverware.
-Measurements:
*Total height (with lid): 21 cm
*Height of the body (without lid): 12 cm
*Total width (from handle to handle): 34 cm
*Diameter of the opening: 23 cm

Formelt service:
*Ekseptionel til servering af varme supper og bouilloner, eller som punchbowle til cocktails og festlige drinks ved eksklusive fejring.
*Højkvalitets Dekoration: På grund af oprindelse og stil er det et perfekt stykke til at kronpræde en antik sidebord, udstillingsskab eller midtpunkt, og det integreres mesterligt i paris-inspirerede omgivelser, klassisk indretning eller periodedesign-projekter.
