Item number: 60164<\/p>\n

A fine classizist silver wine ewer,
\nGhent 1780 by Joannes Paulus<\/p>\n

Amphora-shaped body standing on a central baluster foot with a subtly curved spout and a lid following its shape. The circular body is adorned with classicist palmette decoration and a laurel wreath. The recessed shoulder is ornamented with an acanthus frieze, which is completed by a beaded frieze to the top. The curved handle is connected to the laurel wreath at the bottom by a leaf-shaped spandrel and merges into the richly decorated socket at the top, which is held in the form of two leafy tendrils.<\/p>\n

34 cm \/ 13.58″ height, 11.4 cm \/ 4.48″ diameter (widest part); 808.4 g \/ 25.99 oz<\/p>\n

Very elegant and generously proportioned classicist wine jug in outstanding execution and excellent, museum-quality condition. The original handle presumably made of pear and also completely undamaged. The plastical decoration in all areas is in excellent condition and not overpolished in any areas. Due to the very representative design as well as the details realised with highest craftsmanship – note in particular the fine satin finish in the recesses of the acanthus leaves of the upper handle mount – a noble origin can be considered certain. The Belgian silversmith Joannes Paulus can be traced back to between 1774 and 1784.<\/p>\n
