\nChiselled decoration and faceted crystal of decoration allusive to Faithful Love
\nPierced mount through which is visible the faceted Creusot crystal liner.
\nOn the body Eros carrying arrows in quiver over the shoulder while holding a hunting dog on a leash, the other hand holding flaming torch, and surmounted by pierced frieze under chiselled foliage band. The domed cover of ribbon and beading frieze decoration with pine cone pommel.
\nScroll handles of Classical lion head finials and interlaced laurel branches elements
\nResting on circular foot of foliage frieze on a square stand of pierced column with palms and ball feet
\nHallmarks: 2nd cockerel 1st grade (silver 925\/1000 for 1809-1819), Average Paris warrantee, Greyhound Head, Silversmiths Association with letter P to left, Elder 1st grade; Paris Warrantee. Master silversmith Dominique GARREAU

\nOrnamental symbolism:
\nThe close proximity between dogs and humans, turned this animal into a traditional symbol of fidelity and surveillance. As such, dogs are frequently featured in paintings of marriages or in portraits, as allusions to marital fidelity, such as in the well-known portrait of the ARNOLFINI spouses by Jan VAN EYCK [1], the \"Portrait de Famille\" by Lorenzo LOTTO [2], or in the \"L\u2019Heureuse union\" by VERONESE [3].
\n
\nEROS, symbol of love, rides a dog, symbol of fidelity, held by its leash, symbol of compromise, while dreaming about the symbolism of love guided by the compromise of fidelity.
\nIn the \"Wedding at Cana\" by V\u00c9RON\u00c8SE, the two dogs, depicted by Christ's table and joined to it, are, as such, interpreted as an allegory to marriage and fidelity.
