A lovely and elegant Pair of 18th Century French Silver And Cristal Salt Cellars by Etienne Modenx.
This lovely pair, has an oval frame in silver decorated to mirror a colonnade with geometric silver designs.
The bodies of the cellars rests on four pillar shaped small feet.
The interior is cobalt blue crystal, and in perfect shape!
As usual the particularity of this piece apart from its lovely aspect is the fact that it pre dates the French Revolution by 1 years.
Hence the fact that it avoided destruction during that period is always a wonder…
