IMPORTANT & RARE – Magnific Emperor Period Silver & Cobalt Blue Glass Condiment Service
Exceptional aristocratic table ensemble – Provenance Château de Tournay
PURE MASSIF 0.95 silvers!!! French! Parisian! Unique !!
A truly outstanding and scarce complete condiment service from the prestigious French Empire period (early 19th century), executed in finely worked silver and enhanced with superb cobalt blue glass inserts of remarkable depth and brilliance.
This is not a simple table accessory, but a museum-quality decorative ensemble, embodying the grandeur and strict neoclassical elegance associated with the Napoleonic era.
The set is distinguished by its highly sculptural design, featuring winged female figures (caryatids) inspired by Antiquity, symbolizing grace and strength. The finely cast and chased mounts, together with the elegant lyre-shaped handles, are emblematic of the Empire style and testify to exceptional craftsmanship of the highest level.

Historical Significance & ProvenanceThis set originates from the Château de Tournay in Pregny-Chambésy, Genève.
