Description from the seller
WARSCHAU – ANTIQUITIES FRAGET (HISTORICAL EDITION)
Title: Museum-worthy masterpiece from WARSAW: Ornate Tilting Coffee Pot on Rechaud – Fraget N Plaque, ca. 1900 – Complete & Historically Significant
Exposé:
For sale is a true treasure of Eastern European silverware: A splendid, pivoting coffee machine (tilting coffee pot) from the legendary Warsaw workshop Fraget. This piece is a significant testimony to the glamorous, yet politically dynamic era of Warsaw around the turn of the century.
Historical Context:
This exhibit was created in a time when Poland was under Russian rule (Congress Poland). The Fraget workshop was so highly regarded at the time that it was named the official court supplier to the Russian imperial family. This is evidenced today by the imperial double-headed eagle in the ground stamp – a symbol of the top-tier quality that met even the highest standards in St. Petersburg.
Highlights of this unique piece:
• Provenance WARSCHAU: Original ground stamp "FRAGET N PLAQUE" with the Russian imperial eagle.
• Model number: 3745.
• Outstanding scope of delivery: The set is completely complete, consisting of the delicately worked frame, the tilting coffee pot, and the original burner.
• Functioning original condition: The burner is preserved with its original wick; inside the pot is also the original sieve-insert system.
• Aesthetics: The case features fine, full-surface ornamentation and an elegant meander border (Greek key).
Expertise for the connoisseur:
Fraget pieces from WARSAW of this complexity and preservation are rare “Polonika.” As this exemplar comes from a private specialized collection, it is in exceptionally well-kept condition with a beautiful, authentic patina.
A representative showpiece for enthusiasts of historic table culture and a solidly appreciating investment in a significant piece of European history.
I am selling my beautiful collection.
