Antique French .950 Silver Guilloché Teapot by Antony Salomon, Paris c.1905

This exquisite French silver teapot, crafted circa 1901-1912, exemplifies the elegance and technical mastery of Belle Époque decorative arts. Made in Paris by noted silversmith Antony Salomon, whose workshop operated at 260 Rue Saint-Honoré from 1901 to 1912, the piece bears his maker’s mark — a lozenge punch containing a greyhound (levrette) flanked by the initials A S — as well as the French Minerva head hallmark with a “1”, denoting .950 silver purity.

The teapot is adorned with a finely executed guilloché pattern covering the entire body and lid — a mechanically engraved, undulating wave motif — and further embellished with applied neoclassical garlands and floral swags in repoussé. The spout and foot are smoothly contoured, while the curved handle is carved to resemble faux ivory or bone, capped with a floral medallion and scrollwork detailing.

A delicate finial crowns the lid, which also features raised floral work in high relief. The interior includes an integrated strainer, reflecting both function and refinement. This object embodies the luxurious style of early 20th-century Parisian silverware and demonstrates the high technical standards of France’s leading silversmiths during the period.
