Coffee pot in silver Restoration hallmark to the Old Man (1819/1838) on three feet with shells, curious decoration of figures of Africans surrounded by palms and pourer with ostrich head H. 30 cm.
Small dent on the body (see photos) and a drop of metal behind the foot but I could not judge if it is a repair or a small defect of origin.
The model is elegant and finely chiseled. The very original decoration of African figures and ostrich head evokes, in my opinion, the African slave trade and the triangular trade that enriched many shipowners in Nantes or Bordeaux in the 18th century but also in the 19th. Slavery was abolished after the French Revolution and re-established by Napoleon in 1802, and it was not until 1848 that it was finally abolished.
And isn't this coffee pot a testimony of the casualness with which the question was treated in 1819/1838? Unless it is a simple exotic fantasy of the goldsmith.
