AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important tripod sugar caster in 800 silver, weight 108 g, diameter 7.5 cm, height 9 cm.
Absence of a provincial lozenge, indicating the object's antiquity.
Hand-hammered beadwork; legs with tall cylindrical shafts ending in lion-paw feet and surmounted by lion heads in relief.
The hallmark depicts a caravelle or a historic sailing ship impressed in an open field, which suggests Italian production in the second half of the 19th century, during the Eclectic period, presumably from a Maritime Republic. The sugar caster indeed comes from a lot belonging to a historic family from the area between Pisa and Livorno, making the provenance plausible.
A wonderful example of Italian silversmithing before the advent of Liberty.
Worldwide tracked shipping with rigid packaging.
Seller's Story
Design and collecting, for passion and enjoyment! Large and small objects, furniture and lamps, recovered from abandoned houses or from attics that had become inconvenient, come back to life in the living rooms of modern homes and in new settings. But also accessories, collections, bags and watches that find new owners.
We’re giving a second life to these extraordinary design pieces—and more!
