The timpani rests on a gadrooned pedestal. It is in plain silver with a double double net at a third of its height and under the rim.
It is, by its execution and its sobriety, in line with the timpani on pedestal which are produced in the 18th century and before.
The timpani is remarkable for its large dimensions and its weight of 340 grams!
The Puiforcat house is specialized in the production of these very large timpani, more or less decorated, which are very desired and sought after.
The timpani is punched:
. Hallmark Minerve 1st title before 1973 for silver 950/°°
. Goldsmith hallmark: EP with a penknife for the famous Puiforcat house
. In full under the timpani: Puiforcat // Paris
It is a rare piece by its large dimensions, of very high quality, as always with the Puiforcat house.
