About This Piece
A charming and whimsical antique French sterling silver egg cup, c. 1900. Resting on a sturdy base, the cup is adorned with three delightful panels: a hen nestled on her eggs, a proud rooster in full plumage, and an elegant Louis XVI style medallion framed with scrolling acanthus leaves and topped with a ribbon bow. Beautifully detailed and finely crafted — a perfect addition to a silver collection or a breakfast table steeped in French charm.
