AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique Biedermeier sugar shaker.

Made by the silversmith Jean-Pierre La Force, Antwerp.
Jean-Pierre La Force was active in a fairly short period, namely about 1822–1830.
The sugar shaker is marked with Belgian marks used from 1814–1831; the hand with the B is from the city of Antwerp.

A sugar shaker with Belgian marks from the period 1814–1831 stems from a historically very interesting transitional period: the time of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands under King William I. Because Belgium was part of this kingdom during this period, a combined Dutch-Belgian mark system was used at the time.

Shipping is done in a very large box with lots of packing material; this beauty must not be lost, it is a true work of art.
