Two antique pewter pitchers from about 1850–1900 in eighteenth‑century style, one large (25 cm high, base Ø14.3 cm) and one small (18 cm high, base Ø9.2 cm), made of tin, with patina and signs of age and old restoration; origin France.
Description from the seller
Pair of 19th-century pewter pitchers in 18th-century style, comprising a large model and a matching small model.
Both pieces feature an elegant baluster shape with a shoulder, resting on a flared base. The swing handles with acorn-like terminals and the traces of hinges testify to a manufacture inspired by tavern and inn pitchers from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The undersides of each pitcher bear a worn circular hallmark that is no longer easily legible, with traces of a name (...stron), a date (.730), and animals (swan? with 2 mini-leopards) bordered by a beaded line.
Beautiful patina with wear consistent with the objects’ age and traces of old restorations.
