Johannes Engelbrecht's "Tea Service and Stand" (c. 1730-1732) is a lavish example of Rococo-style silverwork. This intricate piece features a stand with multiple tiers and elaborate ornamentation, including scrolling foliage, cherub-like figures, and a central dome. The stand is adorned with a total of eight small bowls, likely for serving sugar, cream, or other tea accompaniments. The service, crafted in gilded silver, showcases the opulence and elegance of the Rococo era and reflects the rising popularity of tea drinking in European high society.
Comments
This early Meissen porcelain tea service is richly painted with chinoiserie. A special stand was made for it in an even costlier material, silver gilt. The ensemble is a splendid decoration for the table, in which the individual pieces all contribute to the grand total impression. The service was probably made for Tsarina Elizabeth of Russia.
