EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Ewer basin from the service of Charlotte Aglae d Orleans, Duchess of Modena and Reggio, created in 1719. Crafted with silver-gilt by Nicolas Besnier or attributed to him, this piece is a true testament to the opulence and grandeur of its time. The baluster ewer stands gracefully on a pedestal adorned with delicate oves, while its body boasts intricate chiseled decorations and engraved trellises and shells on a matte background. The neck features beautiful wavelets, leading up to a spout embellished with an elegant shell and flowers. The handle is intricately designed in threaded winding with a cherub head attachment. Accompanying the ewer is an oval basin resting on a pedestal decorated with nets. Its edge displays charming wavelets and a frieze of flowers centered around a shell on a matte background. Adding further allure are the applied sides featuring blowing cherub heads. Engraved onto both the body of the ewer and inside the basin are alliance coat-of-arms surmounted by a dukes crown, symbolizing nobility and prestige. Hallmarks can be found under both pieces indicating their authenticity. This remarkable print captures every intricate detail of this magnificent masterpiece that once graced the collection of Charlotte Aglae d Orleans herself. It serves as not only an artistic marvel but also as an important historical artifact showcasing aristocratic taste during that era.
