2 Antique French 950 Silver Salt Cellars. These beautiful French salt cellars are made from 950 grade silver (95% purity) and the spoons (which are matched to the cellars) are British sterling silver. The cellars are decorated with laurel wreaths, scrolling foliage and sprigs of mistletoe. They are richly gilded inside and come with their original clear glass Liners. The spoons are in the Old English pattern. Each cellar is stamped with the French assay mark for 950 silver (Minerva’s head) and the maker’s mark of Henri Soufflot of Paris. This silversmith was registered between 1884 & 1910. The spoons are both hallmarked for Birmingham (1956 & 1958) with the maker’s mark of Adie Brothers. The cellars are in beautiful condition with no dents, the decorative detail is nice and crisp and the gilding has no wear. The liners are also in very good condition with the exception of a small chip to the edge of one (please see the photos). The spoons are in good condition.

Prices are calculated to include the weight of packaging as well as the weight of the item. T charge for packaging. To ensure items are safe in transit, I package them very well and, unfortunately, this does increase mailing costs somewhat. All packages must be signed for upon receipt. Should you wish to return an item, please contact me as soon as possible after receiving it. I source and re-home high quality antique and vintage silver at wholesale prices. On the odd occasion, I come across something that might have had a bit of a rough life but deserves a second chance rather than being consigned to the melting pot. In all cases, because buyers are purchasing from a distance, I always provide in-depth condition reports and multiple high-magnification images in my listings to give you as much information as possible.
