Pair Of Salt Cellars In Solid Silver And Blue Crystal, 19th Century

Pair of antique solid silver salt cellars, finely decorated with sculpted motifs depicting mythological scenes, floral garlands, cherubs, and griffins. The metalwork is of great precision, revealing refined craftsmanship. The cobalt blue glass inserts provide an elegant contrast with the chased silver. These salt cellars bear the signature "L. Lap Paris" under each piece, indicating that they were made by Léon Lapar, a renowned Parisian silversmith of the late 19th century. Léon Lapar is known for his high-quality solid silver pieces, often adorned with colored glass inserts, particularly cobalt blue crystal. This signature, combined with the silversmith's mark, attests to the authenticity and value of these salt cellars. Each salt cellar is supported by four finely chased feet, guaranteeing perfect stability. Dimensions: • Length: 7.5 cm • Width: 6 cm • Height: 4.5 cm
