<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 4303834, member: 56"]Some clear, sharp pictures of the hallmarks may tell a lot. An idle guess on material would be vermeil (gold plated silver), but the hallmarks will probably tell (not impossible that it's gold). I'd guess your impression of the date is pretty good. Maybe a bit earlier - 2nd Empire (Napoleon III)? Stylistically may be a revival of Mannerist or Baroque (16th-17th C styles).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
