AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Extremely rare 19th-century piece, hand-embossed with a woman and cherubs, made in three parts: the background on one side, the lid, and the body of the vessel.
It is a very rare piece that I had never seen; according to AI, it is a 19th-century candle holder, since the background is separated from the rest of the piece.
In it the candle stood on the base, and then it was covered with the body of the vessel, and the lid served to extinguish it, according to the AI.
I know nothing about this piece. The base looks a little larger than the vessel, which is why I think it should be that way, although I don’t know if it detached from the vessel, even though the edge of the vessel is smooth.
What is true is that it is a very striking and decorative piece of outstanding quality.
I acquired it at a gold and silver shop/estate sale for its beauty and uniqueness; this seller sold it to me because it must be an alloy with traces of silver but not enough for them, which is why it bears the acid mark on the lid.
It would need cleaning; I don’t do it because some people prefer it with the patina of years, that is the buyer’s choice.
