In the tranquil corners of a bygone era, when the elegance of the Neo-Rococo style was at its height, a special pair of sauce boats was created, combining the craftsmanship and taste of the 19th century. These two masterpieces, made of 800 silver in Belgium, bear the hallmarks of an age that strived for grace and opulent beauty.
With a godron pattern reminiscent of the gentle folds of a noble robe, the bulging body with wavy edges rises gracefully. The wide spout is in perfect harmony with the skilfully designed rocaille handles, whose playful shapes echo and reinterpret the flowing lines of the rococo style.
The drip trays, firmly screwed on yet easy to detach, are decorated with scalloped edges that give the sauce boats an additional dimension of sophistication. Multi-profiled bands frame the bowls and reinforce the impression of depth and movement. These details catch the light in a way that flatters the viewer's eyes and transports them to a world of neo-rococo opulence.
The Belgian silver mark adorning the pair is a silent witness to their origin and age, a reference to the period from 1869 onwards when they were created with the utmost care and craftsmanship. The fine tremolier engravings on one of the bowls tell of the dedication with which every detail of these sauce boats was crafted.
Despite the decades that have passed since their creation, these sauce boats show very few signs of use. They are a rare testimony to an era in which beauty was sought and found in the everyday, and they are a reminder that true elegance is timeless.
