About the Item

This exceptional 19th century French Ewer or coffee pot is crafted in solid silver, bearing the prestigious Minerva hallmark, certifying a silver purity of 950/1000. With an impressive weight of 498.2 grams, this piece exemplifies the refinement, substance, and enduring quality of French silversmithing from the 19th century. The elegantly rounded body rises into a slender neck and is complemented by a beautifully contoured spout, finely chased with classical motifs that reflect the influence of neoclassical decorative arts. The domed lid is crowned with a sculptural finial, adding a sense of balance and sophistication to the overall design. A gracefully curved ebony wood handle, mounted in richly decorated silver fittings, provides both visual contrast and practical insulation, emphasizing the thoughtful craftsmanship behind this piece. The coffee pot stands on a raised circular base with delicately molded feet, enhancing its stately presence. Originally intended for serving coffee or hot chocolate in refined salons or private residences, it remains today a striking statement object, equally suited to an elegant dining setting or a curated collection of fine European silver. Preserved in excellent antique condition, with gentle surface wear consistent with age, this coffee pot offers a rare combination of authenticity, elegance, and timeless luxury.
