Silver Cafetière from the Brussels Manufactory Altenloh
A finely crafted cafetière in the Directoire style, made by the renowned Brussels manufactory Altenloh.
The body rests on a slightly flared, chased round base. The spout, shaped like a stylized bird, is particularly noteworthy, its delicate engravings showcasing the silversmith's exceptional skill. The ebonized wood handle provides an elegant contrast to the luster of the silver, lending the pot a balanced and harmonious silhouette.
The lid features a finely sculpted bud finial, while a continuous leaf and pearl decoration adorns the upper rim. The cafetière is numbered and stamped with the Altenloh Bruxelles hallmark and the 950 silver fineness mark.
