Have nothing in your houses that you do not consider to be beautiful or useful. French Antique Samovar Tea Pot and Creamer on Tray. Sterling Silver, Copper & Bronze. A very exceptional ensemble composed of a tea pot on a stand with a burner, a matching milk/cream jug all set on a tray. What is unique is the mastery and use of sterling silver, copper and bronze to compose the elements of the ensemble. The tea pot measures 6 ½ inches high to the top of the bronze and wooden handle. The interior is in sterling silver, which keeps the hot water clean. The exterior has a copper covering and the accents, such as the pods to place the pot on the holder, the handle and its attachments are in beautifully styled bronze. The tea pot's lid is lined in sterling silver, the cover is in copper and the tiny knob is in bronze.
The pot and the lid have a sterling silver edging. The little milk/cream jug is also lined in sterling silver, the exterior in copper and the handle in bronze.
There is a very small dent on the bottom, invisible when set on the tray. The stand is the resistance piece in bronze that is beautifully crafted with a Second Empire styling and the four feet are carefully polished to avoid possible scratching on the tray. It measures with the tea pot in place 11 inches high. The little burner has its original wick inside a screw-on cap and a little bronze leaf as a handle. The tray is sterling silver on the top and a copper underside. It measures 9 1/2 inches wide by 11 3/4 inches long and is in very good condition.
