"Pair Of Circular Silver Besamins"
Pair of circular silver Besamins with a triangular base on which rest three crawling silver lions, supporting a sphere that opens at the top to contain spices. The spherical part is decorated on the top with a spoke engraved with a small turquoise set in a circular interlacing of silver threads. The inner rim of the spherical container bears the marks of the city of St. Petersburg from the first half of the 1800s, whereas in our opinion this old pair of silver spice racks date from the early 1900s. They are in good condition. state.
