Luigi Valadier's "Invalid's Cup (Biberon)" is a silver cup, dating back to 1765-1785. The cup's unique design features a long, curved spout and a flared, cup-like base. The handle is elegantly shaped with a scroll pattern, creating a delicate and graceful silhouette. The cup is adorned with the monogram "B," hinting at its personal origin. This piece showcases Valadier's skill in silversmithing, reflecting the refined tastes of the 18th century.
