"Skewer" is a simple yet elegant silver skewer, created by the French silversmith Daniel Dupuy between 1750 and 1775. The skewer, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is a testament to Dupuy's meticulous craftsmanship, featuring a slender, pointed shaft and a circular ring at the top, designed for easy handling. The object exemplifies the refined aesthetic of 18th-century French silverware.
