Beautiful 18th Century French Silver Selfish Coffee Pot, or Verseuse Marabout By ‘Maitre Orfèvre’ Noël César Boutheroue-Desmarais.
Often called a Coquemar, or a Verseuse (pourer) Marabout, due to its heavier on the bottom shape, this lovely piece is absolutely beautifully worked!
The body is decorated with applied silver, which is chiseled and ‘repoussé’ to form floral scrolls and rose garlands.
The finial is seashell shaped and the side handle, made of rosewood, bears the same floral scrolls in its mass. The spout is sweetly duck bill shaped and the lid attachement shows a beautifully carved seashell.
The piece was carved with an MB Monogram at a later date.
We can go further in time to date precisely this piece to 1787 thanks to the perfect markings on it!
A collectors piece….
As mentioned the marking are perfect and show the following:
