Coffeepot (part of a service) 1809 - 1819

This silver coffeepot, part of a larger service, was created by Marc Jacquart between 1809 and 1819. It is a stunning example of French Neoclassical design, with its intricate ornamentation and elegant form. The handle, crafted from polished bone, adds a touch of warmth to the cool silver. The ornate details, such as the delicate floral patterns and the stylized swan spout, reflect the period's fascination with classical motifs. The piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the refined taste and craftsmanship of the early 19th century.
