Additional Information

The plate warmer herewith described, does not feature any stamp or maker's mark, but its provenance is secure. ODIOT did not systematically mark his silver plated pieces when these were part of an important set that included solid silver tableware.

A vegetable dish and its warmer, of the same exact characteristics and engraved with identical heraldic, undoubtedly belonging to this same set, was sold in the HUBERT de GIVENCHY collection sale, at Christie's, in October 14, 2021 (lot 202). Another pair, belonging to the same set, was also sold by Sotheby's in Paris, in November 29, 2016 (lot 82).
