This ornate silver centerpiece, "Cloches (dish covers), coolers, soup tureens, sauceboats, salt cellars, pepper and mustard pots," was crafted by Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot, a prominent French silversmith, around 1819. The piece is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the Neoclassical period, showcasing intricate details like the two shells held aloft by fish and the square base with intricate ornamentation. This piece would have been a prized possession in a wealthy household, reflecting the owner's taste for elegance and refinement. It stands as a testament to the artistic achievements of the early 19th century.
Comments
A confidante of the Russian empress commissioned this 140-piece service, several items of which are displayed here. Silversmith Odiot, the painter Prud’hon and the architect Cavelier proudly presented the new models at the 1819 French national exhibition of decorative art. Notable are the kneeling angels supporting the soup tureen, which are characteristic of the late Empire style.
