Burgundian wedding cup in solid silver, dijon 18th century

Moving testimony of a union celebrated in the Age of Enlightenment, this solid silver wedding cup was shaped in Dijon around 1780-1790.

His elegant silhouette rests on a buoyed pedestal, while her two handles finely worked in windings give him a very special grace.
The delicate engraving of the names Gadan and G. Dodey recalls its initial use: a precious symbol of commitment and affection.

The punctures present, in particular the emblematic crenellated tower of Dijon, attest to its origin and the great tradition of Burgundian goldsmithery.

Ideal for enriching a collection of old silverware, or to offer a gift steeped in history.
