Labat & Pugibet

Labat & Pugibet – Pair of solid-silver salt cellars 950‰, Minerva first title, Paris circa 1880–1897 Description : Beautiful pair of French solid-silver salt cellars 950‰, made in Paris by the silversmiths Labat & Pugibet, active from 1877 to 1897. The mounts are finely pierced and chased in a rich Neo-Renaissance / troubadour decor, consisting of foliate scrolls, chimeras, fantastical mascarons and small hanging elements. Each salt cellar rests on three small pierced feet. Both pieces retain their glass/crystal bowls, perfectly fitted to the mounts. The visible hallmarks include : Minerva 1st title, French guarantee for silver 950‰ ; maker’s mark L & P, with the cobbler’s awl, attributed to Labat & Pugibet. Net silver weight: 19.05 g per salt cellar, i.e. 38.10 g of 950‰ solid silver in total, excluding the bowls. Fine silver weight: approximately 36.20 g. Overall condition very satisfactory for pieces from the late 19th century, with signs of wear and a light patina appropriate to age. Decor well preserved and highly legible. The bowls are present; their exact condition is visible in the photographs. Beautiful pair of antique Parisian metalwork, interesting for its identified silversmith, its particularly rich decoration, and its preservation with the two glass/crystal bowls.
