This antique French silver-plated tea urn, dating from 1860, combines Victorian style with the craftsmanship of Parisian silversmiths Risler and Carré. The piece has a polished silver finish with a lift-off lid, twin scroll handles, and a shelf and scroll border. It features an original carved walnut handle top, feet, and top finial, along with a cast spigot tap. The urn is raised on cabriole legs that are united with a central burner, and it is stamped Riddler and Carré Paris. The dimensions are 47.5 cm high, 24.5 cm wide, and 23 cm deep. Suitable for placement on a sideboard top, this tea urn brings a classic French chateau aesthetic to a dining room or living space. It functions as a decorative display item or a centrepiece for hospitality settings, adding historical character and polished metalwork to a traditional interior scheme.

FAQs

Popularised in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, tea urns served as central hot water vessels for tea preparation during formal social gatherings, utilising an integrated spigot tap.

These vessels were constructed from base metals such as copper or brass electroplated with silver, often featuring cast decorative mounts and heat-resistant wooden or bone elements on the tap.

Authentic period pieces generally display makers stamps or electroplating marks, period-correct cast details such as acanthus leaves, and evidence of historic hand-chased finishing.

An antique silver tea urn functions as a decorative focal point when placed on a sideboard, kitchen island, or drinks trolley, providing metallic contrast against contemporary backgrounds.

Clean gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish formulated for electroplated surfaces, avoiding harsh abrasives that could wear away the silver layer.
