French large and ornate solid silver coffee pot Flamant 696 grams

Description

This nice solid silver coffee pot was made in Paris in the late 1800's by the well-known maker Flamant. It is finely decorated and in very good condition. There is no damage to the feet or the spout; the handle insulators are excellent, the lid closes properly and the inside of the pot is very clean. There is a little bent in the metal of the lid (picture 4) and an area on the right side of the body, near the spout, shows a little dent and some marks to the surface (picture 12). The coffee pot is about 26 cm high, 24 cm long (handle to spout) and the body is 17.5 cm wide. It weighs 696 grams. The “Flamant” diamond-shaped makers mark is under the pot, and the Minerva silver mark, for 950 silver, is visible on the base and on the lid.
