Description

A beautiful heavy French antique solid sterling silver handled bowl. It is hallmarked with the French 950 Mercury head mark along with the maker mark of Eugène Lefèbvre who operated in Paris from 1888 to 1924, I would date this piece to c1890. It has been superbly made having beautifully decorated handles. It is in superb condition being free from dings splits and repairs, just the odd faint mark see final photo. It measures approx. 6.75 inches (16.6cm) across including the handles and 3.75 inches (9.4cm) excluding them by 2.25 inches (5.6cm) tall and weighs 168 grams. A very nice example.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Historically used for serving broth or sweetmeats, two-handled silver bowls became prominent in 17th- to 19th-century French dining, reflecting traditional silversmithing craftsmanship.

Late 19th-century French solid silver typically conformed to the First Standard Minerva mark, indicating a silver purity of 950 parts per thousand (95.0% pure silver).

Authentic French silver bears official state hallmarks, such as the Minerva head inside an octagon for 950 purity or a barrel shape for 800 purity, alongside a makers mark within a lozenge outline.

Position the piece as a trinket dish on a dressing table, place it on a console table as a focal point, or use it on a sideboard for formal table settings.

Wash with mild soap and warm water, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth, and clean periodically with specialised silver polish to remove tarnish while avoiding abrasive pads.
