A two-handled silver sugar bowl in the shape of a cup, with a smooth body engraved with bands of griffins and palmettes; the lid features a winged griffin finial, and the handles are formed as winged Egyptian herms. Paris, early 19th century. Silversmith Nicolas Auguste Franckson (600 g) (21x6x15 cm) (minor defects) IT Zuccheriera biansata in argento a forma di coppa, corpo liscio con fasce incise a grifi e palmette, coperchio con presa a grifone alato e anse a erma egizia alata. Parigi, inizio secolo XIX. Argentiere Nicolas Auguste Franckson (g 600) (cm 21x6x15) (lievi difetti) Nicolas-Auguste Franckson è stato un celebre maestro argentiere attivo a Parigi nei primi anni del XIX secolo, durante le stagioni storiche del Consolato e del Primo Impero. Appartenente a una nota dinastia di argentieri di origine fiamminga trapiantata nella capitale francese - nella quale si distinse anche Denis Franckson -, guidò una bottega rinomata per l'eccelsa qualità esecutiva. La sua produzione di vasellame e servizi da tè e caffè incarna fedelmente il rigore geometrico e il repertorio ornamentale dello stile Impero, accogliendo con grande maestria le suggestioni esotiche del gusto Retour d'Égypte.
