A 13‑piece decorative pewter collection from 1850–1900, produced in France, made of tin, with individual items measuring about 14 cm deep, 14 cm wide and 23 cm high, all in excellent condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
For sale is a decorative, multi-piece lot of old pewter that is ideal for collectors of classic metalwork or as a nostalgic focal point in a country-house style.
The collection comprises a selection of characterful, historic household items and vessels with an authentic, years-long patina. Stylistically, the designs reference pivotal periods of the late 18th and 19th centuries, from strict Classicism through the plainly bourgeois Biedermeier to the detail-loving Historicism.
The centerpiece of the set is a rare tall oil lamp with a sturdy round base. It is complemented by a striking, historizing candlestick with a square base, a bulbous bowl with ornate side handles, an elegant pot with a hinged lid, and two additional well-proportioned beaker and vase designs in the Classical style.
The offer is completed by a practical set of six small pewter coasters.
A special detail for connoisseurs: the charming lot remains in its uncleaned original condition. Of the pieces included, only a single item bears a foundry mark on the bottom, which further underscores the untouched and rustic character of this ensemble.
