In the traditional June session, Pandolfini's Silver Department will propose interesting and precious silvers collected with meticulous selection to represent the English, French, Russian and Italian silverware manufacturers. The Lady of this catalog will certainly be Giuseppe Valadier's coffee pot, created around 1800 in Rome.
For english silverware are very curious the two egg stands made in London in 1827 by Rundell Bridge & Rundell .
Going back in time, but remaining in London, of particular interest is the samovar made by Elizzabeth Godfrey in 1747, a woman apologist of the noble goldsmith art.The overview of foreign manufactures will be enriched by a nucleus of Russian silver, elegant and refined examples of the colorful production of this geographical area.
The Italian tradition will not be missing, in particular with three elegant 18th century Turin sugar bowls and an ecuelle also made in Turin around 1790. The gilded silver inkwell, a typical example of early 19th century silverware, is Roman. From Genoa comes the silver coffe pot. The great manufactories of the twentieth century will be the protagonists of the sale. We mention Buccellati, Bulgari, Brandimarte and Cesa, the latter with the emblematic Quirinale service.
