Condiment Set 1809

This silver condiment set, crafted by Rebecca Emes in 1809, showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of the Neoclassical era. The set features a tray with a gracefully curved design, supported by four elegant legs, holding two cylindrical containers with lids. The central element of the set is a tall, ornate structure that connects the containers and houses a small serving spoon. The set, crafted during Emes's brief but prolific career, is a testament to her talent and dedication. The set's intricate design and elegant form reflect the Neoclassical aesthetic of the period and its focus on classicism and balance. Today, it's housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to its beauty and historical significance.
