Moulinet 1739 - 1740

"Moulinet," a silver-mounted, ebony-handled implement, was crafted by John Le Sage in 1739-40. This intricately designed object, now residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the craftsmanship of the Rococo period and serves as a testament to the skill of the young artist, who died at the age of 25. The "Moulinet" is a prime example of a decorative silver object, its intricate design highlighting the delicate beauty of the Rococo style.
