Beaker 19th century

"Beaker" is a 19th century silver vessel created by Franchi and Son. The piece is ornamented with an intricate, repeating pattern of overlapping scales, a design motif common in traditional silverwork. The simple, yet elegant form, and its finely crafted surface demonstrate the skilled craftsmanship of the Franchi workshop. This piece is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
