Additional Information
Rather strikingly, if this sauceboat recaptures the traditional forms od the Consulate style for its evident ornamental sobriety as well as for the purity of its lines, its foliage scroll handle, of considerable modernity, foreshadows rather clearly the Art Nouveau shapes and taste.
Similar heraldic was used by the families GOÜYON-MATIGNON or by the 1st Counts LIMBOURG.
