Exquisite 950 Silver Cup - Edmond Bonnescoeur, Paris (c. 1890)

A superb example of late 19th-century Parisian silversmithing by Edmond Bonnescoeur, one of the most refined French master craftsmen of his era.
Entirely handcrafted in 950 fine silver (1er titre), fully hallmarked with French Minerva and maker’s marks.
The cup displays delicate hand-chased (ciselé) decoration of floral and foliate motifs, creating a lace-like texture that catches the light with exquisite subtlety — a testament to Bonnescoeur’s exceptional skill and artistic sensibility.
Elegant, slightly flared rim and balanced proportions underline its classical French aesthetic.
A fine collector’s piece representing the height of Belle Époque silver artistry.
