$375.00
Balanced upon a delicate and shimmering irridescent base, this Antique French Souvenir Mother-of-Pearl Salier was one of the team's favorite finds during our recent visit to the autumn markets of Paris. Artfully crafted from carved mother-of-pearl with delicate brass appointments, the stunning effect is that of a ship at full sail. Set upon the boat's seashell-fashioned deck - a diminutive glass salt cellar the color of soft ocean waves reflected in the sunlight.
With delicate engraving 'Granville' on the upper portion of the petite ship's mainsail, this creative tableware accessory was an early travel memento secured as a gift or to assure remembrance of a special visit to Granville, France. Lying at the edge of the English Channel in the Normandy region, Granville was known for its seaside resort as well as family seat to the industrialist clan, Dior. Often referred to as "the Monaco of the North," Granville remains a popular holiday destination for French and European families. This stunning salier (salt cellar) with its charming demeanor is sure to make a most elegant vessel for passing the salt, promising to grace your table with sophistication and refinement on every occasion.
Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good antique condition. 6.5"H x 5".
