Odiot "dish Warmer" Early 19th Century

Exceptional round-shaped tealight in silvered bronze... The molded and finely chiseled headband, with bretées plates in two of the four medallions, all decorated with garlands of leaves and bays of laurel retained by florets. It rests on clogs of fauns topped with acanthus leaves and rosettes connecting laurel garlands. Silversmith: "Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot 1763 / 1850 received master goldsmith on December 17, 1785...", son of (Jean-Claude Odiot 1722 / 1788 ) and grandson of (Jean-Baptiste Gaspard Odiot 1692 / 1767 ). .. Goldsmith hallmark "O" as well as an "oil lamp" and the mention "A PARIS" ..., (the mention "a paris" is not very legible given its wear)", there is a punch under the tray as well as a punch under a shoe bearing the number 4577, as well as a letter "D" on one of the four arms connecting the stove. This dish warmer is from the LOUIS-PHILIPPE period around 1840 / 1850. Certainly a special order at that time for a family of the French nobility. Namely that in 1809 "Jean-Baptiste Claude Odiot" became the official supplier of the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The same identical (dimensions and weight) , listed and known to date but "in silver", with the family coat of arms in two of the four medallions, belonged to the second Count "Maximilie n Foy" and to the "Countess Elvire Popesco". Both a table piece of remarkable quality, but above all a collector's item.
