Description from the seller
Description
Magnificent pair of gomil and basin in Portuguese silver, produced in Porto between 1853 and 1861, assayed by Caetano Rodrigues de Araújo (P-45) and bearing the goldsmith’s mark P-165.
This is a high-quality exemplar, richly decorated with hand-engraved grapevines, vine leaves and grape clusters, complemented by elegant smooth and fluted decoration. The handle features a scrolling design, ending in a carved leaf, evidencing the excellent quality of Portuguese goldsmithing in the second half of the 19th century.
Both pieces bear the same monogram engraved at the center.
It is in excellent condition, maintaining remarkable shine and only slight signs of use compatible with age, without significant dents.
A collectible piece, extremely decorative and representative of the best Portuguese production of the nineteenth century.

Seller's Story
Dear customer, our passion, knowledge and experience are watches (vintage).
These watches are restored by our watchmakers and are fully verified to work well.
Note that vintage mechanical watches can never be 100% accurate at the right time. A small daily change is normal.
We are not responsible for import duties and/or other surcharges customary in your country on the importation of goods.
The many detailed photos are part of the description and give you a good idea of the watch you are going to bid on.
We cannot guarantee the water resistance of our watches, even if they are diving watches. You should never wear our watches in the shower, in the pool or at sea!
We guarantee the proper functioning of the watch purchased! This means you get our guarantee that the watch works properly, we don't provide any paper for that. Automatic watches need wrist movement to function properly. If you don't move your wrist a lot, the automatic watch won't run at full power. This can be a problem, especially with older, larger automatics. Normally, the clock can also be started manually! Our shipping costs are based on having your batch packed, securing shipping and packaging materials.
If you are unable or unwilling to accept these costs, please do not bid.
Good luck with your bids.
