French Belle Époque Crystal & Sterling Silver Salt Cellar Set

【French Belle Époque Crystal & Sterling Silver Salt Cellar Set】 This is a collection of exquisite French dining pieces from the late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1890–1910). • Sterling Silver Craftsmanship: Both the rim of the salt cellars and the small spoons bear the Minerva sterling silver hallmark, enhanced with delicate gilding, showcasing the elegant bearing of fine tableware. • Artistic Style: The cut crystal sparkles brilliantly. The silver ornamentation on the rim of the cellars features symmetrical garlands in the Louis XVI revival style, while the small spoons incorporate floral and foliate details characteristic of Art Nouveau, perfectly blending two major artistic features. • Complete Original Box: Exceptionally well-preserved, this set includes two salt cellars and spoons, representing the refined choice for high-society banquets or wedding gifts of the era. Dimensions: Small cellar diameter 5.2cm × height 3cm, small spoon 5.9cm, box 20×6.5cm A collectible piece of dining art, combining sterling silver, gilding, crystal, and a century of style, worthy of both collection and use. ⚠️ The box shows noticeable signs of age, and the gilding on one of the small cellars has slight wear. The rest of the condition is generally good, but vintage items inevitably bear historical marks. Please consider this before purchasing.
