Description from the seller
Antique Silver Christening Cup – Engraved “Jacqueline” – Dated 9 January 1926 – Floral Decoration
An elegant antique silver cup dating from the early 20th century, distinguished by its refined floral decoration and beautifully engraved personal inscriptions.
The cup features a gently tapered cylindrical body, with a decorative band of finely engraved floral and foliate motifs surrounding its upper section. At the centre of the composition is an oval medallion bearing the name "Jacqueline", engraved in elegant cursive lettering.
The underside of the cup bears a handwritten-style engraved inscription, apparently reading "9 Janvier 1926" (9 January 1926), providing a charming historical reference to the piece.
The combination of the personal name and date suggests that this cup may originally have been presented as a christening gift or to commemorate a special family occasion.
Its simple yet elegant form, delicate ornamentation and personalised engravings make it an attractive example of early 20th-century silverware.
A small hallmark is visible on the exterior, although its precise identification and the silver fineness have not yet been established.
The cup also features a warm, golden-toned interior, which contrasts beautifully with its polished silver exterior.
A charming and personal piece, particularly appealing to collectors of antique silver, christening gifts and early 20th-century decorative objects.
