Jean-Baptiste Odiot - 1822 |
The
House of Odiot was founded in 1690 and for over three centuries the company of
silversmiths has maintained it's fabulous tradition of creating masterpieces in
precious metals - primarily silver and gold. Through subsequent
generations it has devoted itself to the same task, handing down a heritage of
work, intelligence, honor and renown. For five generations the firm has
been silversmiths to the Kings and Queens of Europe as well as Presidents and
Emperors around the world. Today the firm is ranked amongst the best
silversmiths in the world.
All their
items are of a rare luxury. However, the greatest jewel of all was created
in 1854 for Said Pacha, The Vice-King of Egypt who ordered a set of three
thousand items, the majority of them in gold, for the concession he granted to
Ferdinand de Lesseps for the construction and exploitation of the Great Canal.
The set cost nearly 2 million dollars.
Each of These magnificent pieces in this set has both the French
State's "Head of the Minerva-1" hallmark certifying a minimum of
950 sterling, and The House of Odiot hallmark. They are of
extremely high quality and were manufactured during the early
1800s when some of the most elaborate and elegant French silver
pieces were made. The quality and workmanship are
impossible to duplicate today and there are no monograms on any
of the pieces. The set is in EXCELLENT condition, although
the exterior of the chest is a bit beat up and there is some
damage to the locking mechanism.
The Noble Family's crest is mounted on each of the pieces and it
looks like the chest has had some sort of judicial Seal placed
on it a one time as there are still remnants of the sealing wax
on the top and side of the chest - adding to the intrigue of the
set. The set contains the following (all weights and
measure approximate): |
