Finest Set Graduated Meat / Platter Covers or Domes by Durand, Paris, C.1840 - Eagles

19th century
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

Without doubt, the very best I have ever seen and owned. This grand set of three graduated silver plated domes are all handmade, you can see the hand beating on the interior of all of them where they were formed by hand, amazing quality.

Of course, what makes these unique and stand out are the grand cast Eagle finials to the top reflecting the regal engraved Armorial Crest to each. Each crest incorporates an engraved banner "Spes Mea Christus" meaning Christ is my hope. This I believe to the family motto and crest of the Bingham family. These were clearly an important set, undoubtedly commissioned for a wealthy family.

Each of the domes is signed on the inside for Durand, Paris - for Francois Durand (active 1828-1874, 4 Rue du Mouton, Paris), I would date these to around 1840.

Covers this special make a spectacular decorative pieces on a large empty dining table or on a side table. Each has a hanging ring for wall hanging if desired.

They are a majestic set with the large size measuring 22" x 17" x 14 1/2" tall; the medium: 18" x 12" x 12 1/2" tall; the small: 13" x 9 1/2" x 9 1/2".

Excellent condition.

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

Silver meat domes, or cloches, were created during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to maintain the temperature of roasted meats as they were transported from estate kitchens to dining rooms.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver or silver plate over copper (Sheffield plate), featuring heavy cast handle finials attached through the top.

Authentic French pieces usually feature makers stamps or silversmith marks stamped along the rim, alongside period-appropriate construction methods such as screwed-in cast finials and hand-finished lobing.

A set of graduated silver domes can be displayed as a central focus on a dining room sideboard, arranged along a kitchen island, or placed individually as decorative objects.

Polish gently with a specialized, non-abrasive silver cream and a soft cotton cloth, taking care not to rub excessively over raised decorative details to preserve the silver layer.
