French Solid Silver Cup / Two-Handled Bowl – 19th Century – Inscribed “Paulin. Fixin. 1861”

A beautiful 19th-century French solid silver cup, featuring two ornate side handles shaped in a sculptural, almost zoomorphic style with refined detailing. The bowl stands on a rounded pedestal base decorated with a beaded border, giving the piece a classical and dignified appearance.

Engraved on the front is the inscription:
“PAULIN. FIXIN. 1861.”
suggesting it may have been a commemorative piece or a presentation gift, possibly linked to the French village of Fixin (Burgundy).

Hallmarks confirm its French origin and solid silver quality. Despite its age, the bowl survives in very good condition with a beautiful silver sheen.
