About the Item
A magnificent solid silver service, typical of the Neo-Renaissance style developed by Froment-Meurice. Each piece, mounted on a pedestal, features a richly decorated repoussé and chased design: scrolls, cartouches, foliage, masks, and zoomorphic motifs, particularly on the handles and spouts, sculpted in the style of fantastical or naturalistic creatures.
The lid finials are finely modeled, often in the form of miniature figures or flower buds. The set illustrates the ornamental virtuosity characteristic of the Froment-Meurice workshops, with deep relief, dense chasing, and expressive design.

BIOGRAPHY – FROMENT-MEURICE
The Froment-Meurice dynasty began with François-Désiré Froment-Meurice (1802–1855), a major figure in Romantic silversmithing. Initially a simple craftsman in the Marais district, he quickly became one of the most talented goldsmiths in Paris thanks to his exceptional mastery of repoussé, chasing, and metal sculpture.
In the 1830s and 1850s, Froment-Meurice distinguished himself with a highly personal style blending Gothic, Renaissance, and fantastical naturalism. Upon his death in 1855, his son, Émile Froment-Meurice (1837–1913), took over the workshop and continued the family aesthetic while modernizing production. He retained the Romantic elements, sculpted decorations, zoomorphic figures, and complex compositions.
Under his direction, the firm remained one of the most renowned in Paris. The Froment-Meurice firm is considered one of the most creative of the 19th century and received major private and official commissions (notably from the City of Paris).
