Description

Elegant basin decorated with a frieze of water leaves, lined with a large frieze of vine leaves, bunches of grapes and florets. The ewer, decorated with a superb swan, frequently used for toilet "furniture", highlights the theme of water. A head of Bacchus, at the beginning of the handle, completes the theme of the vine.
This set, magnificently executed by Adolphe Boulenger, is directly inspired by the swan ewer and basin delivered by Martin Guillaume Bienais for the Palais des Tuileries in 1802, today preserved at the Louvre.

- old man's mark 1st title of Paris.
- FAB hallmark used by L’orfèvrerie Boulenger between 1810 and 1838.

The company was founded in Paris in 1810 by Mr. Boulenger-Hautin, active until 1938, specializing in tableware.
In 1864, it was taken over by the nephew of the founder, Adolphe Boulenger and became “A.Boulenger & Cie” located at 4 rue du Vert Bois in Paris.
His son, Charles Boulenger, took over after the death of his father in 1898 and the company became “Ch. Boulenger & Cie”.

Superb state of conservation.
