Антикварный набор для специй в стиле Людовика XV

An exquisite antique spice set consisting of three gilded metal bowls. The bowls have openwork legs, wavy surfaces and decorative filigree elements that make the silhouette of the products graceful and elegant. The set is a striking example of the Louis XV style, demonstrating their typical compositional sophistication and attention to detail. This style developed during the reign of King Louis XV (1715-1774). Each bowl has a mark on the bottom. One of the marks has an octagonal shape, which is characteristic of French assay marks (poinçons de garantie), which indicate the quality of the metal and silver. The Minerva's head indicates a 925 silver standard. The second hallmark contains initials that help identify the maker. The third hallmark is possibly a factory mark or an export stamp. Such stamps were often accompanied by the inscription FRANCE or DÉPOSÉ. Such marks are found on products from Paris, Limoges, or Lorraine.
