Antique French Sterling Silver Salt Cellar Set A Gorgeous Pair! Oval Blue Crystal/Glass Liner Cherubs. Thank you for stopping by, and welcome! Every Antique Has a Fascinating History.. Antiques are tangible survivors of times long gone. They reflect the thoughts, visions, tastes and physical surroundings of our forefathers. Bring history into your home! A very beautiful Pair of Antique French Sterling Silver Salt Cellars for your consideration. This is included elegant blue crystal (or glass, I cannot say for sure) inner, surrounded and supported by four feet sterling silver stand, decorated with cherubs, cartouche, floral and foliage patterns and much more. You will appreciate the workmanship that went into this delighted salt cellars – the technique used to create the decoration is called Repousse. A thin sheet of silver is heated and the pattern raised from the reverse side using tools of different shapes. It is done by hand and difficult to master. This fabulous pair will be a welcome addition to a well appointed table! I cannot find any hallmarks on this beautiful salt cellars. Possibly it bears the marks on the reverse side, but the blue inner is NOT removable so I could not check this. But I did the acid test and I guarantee that this is solid silver not silver-plated. 4.7 cm (2 inch) high x 8 cm (3.2 inch) large x 5.6 cm (2.2 inch) wide each. Weight total 202.8 grams (7.16 oz) Very Good Condition. One of the blue inner has some tiny chips on the edge, but otherwise less than usual scratches and tiny dimple-like dents on the silver from long years of light use. Presumably from mid 19th Century. Ready for use or display. The item must be in its original condition. The cost of returning the item to us is your responsibility.
