Pair of oval silver salerons, with openwork gallery, resting on four hoof feet. Decorative repelled decoration that accurately reflects the aesthetics of the Palais Royal in Paris with arcades, pillars, grills and lighting, and a frieze of fleurs-de-lis on the upper edge. Paris 1785. Master goldsmith: Pierre BLARD received in 1785. Weight: 78 g Bibliographical references: the current appearance of the Royal Palace was established in 1781 when the Duke of Chartres, cousin of Louis XVI, obtained the King's authorisation to subdivide around the garden. The architect Victor LOUIS, known for the construction of the Grand Théâtre de Bordeaux, was chosen. He designed 180 arcades separated by corynthian pilasters, illuminated by suspended streetlights. A mustard maker of the same model is included in the David WEILL collection (see Henry NOCQ "Le halçon de Paris tome III page 267 by Pierre-Médard MOTHET)
