Description
TOULOUSE 1762 A rare pair of cast silver salt cellars from the Louis XV period, each resting on four volute feet with leaf-shaped clasps. An asymmetrical, unadorned cartouche on each side, framed by a dolphin in relief and reeds. The set is remarkably well hallmarked with the charge and discharge hallmarks for TOULOUSE 1762–68, the guild hallmarks for TOULOUSE 1763 (letter-date ‘H’) and the hallmarks of master silversmith Barthélemy SAMSON, who was admitted to the guild in 1757. Height: 4.5 cm Max. length: 8.8 cm Max. width: 7.1 cm Weight of the pair: 302.8 grams. Pieces by B. SAMSON are highly sought-after and feature in the finest collections and museums. A lidded bouillon and its stand from TOULOUSE, dated 1764, were purchased by the Louvre Museum and entrusted to the Paul-Dupuy Museum in TOULOUSE, whilst a ewer and its basin are held at the Metropolitan Museum in NEW YORK. SAMSON produced exceptional pieces. He was the only one, alongside his uncle Louis II, who could rival the Parisian ‘GERMAIN’ family in the provinces in terms of the quality and decoration of his pieces.
