This silver centerpiece, "Cloches (dish covers), coolers, soup tureens, sauceboats, salt cellars, pepper and mustard pots," was created by renowned French silversmith Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot in c. 1819. The piece showcases Odiot's mastery of Neoclassical design with its intricate floral motifs, elegant curves, and cherubic figures that serve as handles. The lavish ornamentation and large scale suggest it was intended for a wealthy patron, highlighting the craftsmanship and status associated with silverware during this period.
Comments
A confidante of the Russian empress commissioned this 140-piece service, several items of which are displayed here. Silversmith Odiot, the painter Prud’hon and the architect Cavelier proudly presented the new models at the 1819 French national exhibition of decorative art. Notable are the kneeling angels supporting the soup tureen, which are characteristic of the late Empire style.
