AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Stunning teapot (or pitcher) in solid French silver, Louis XV style, made by the master silversmith Charles Harleux, as evidenced by his master mark in a lozenge.
It is stamped Minerve first title (950/1000), guaranteeing high-quality silver, and dates from the late 19th century (around 1891).
This elegant piece features a baluster silhouette resting on four rocaille-decorated, scrolling feet. The spout is richly moulded with volutes and the lid is topped by a foliate-knob handle. Each side is adorned with a ribbon-bowed medallion, one of which bears an elegant engraved monogram.
The quality of its chasing, its harmonious proportions and the finesse of its workmanship attest to the craftsmanship of the silversmith Charles Harleux, active in Paris at the end of the 19th century.
