Hi GiulyF, I'm looking for numeri 8, which I seem to see on the right of A of your tastievin. Numeri 3 and 5 are documented; search on forum clapel : Kalandrin Regie's marks jurande P88 period. Numeri 7 and 9, already found, will be documented in my forthcoming note on forum : Kalandrin's marks peri...

Hi GiulyF, Kalandrin is documented to have struck his marks on February 23, 1789. Quoted from Arch. Nat. Zig 174. "J.F. Kalandrin, regisseur des droits d'Aides et autres y joints, fit insculper sur una table de cuivre couverte d'argent 96 nouveaux poinçon. Chaque poinçon portait un point de rem...

Silversmith Maillet Claude Antoine. symbol: eagle. The charge is very interesting. I would like to know if the number to the righ of A is 8.
It's possible to have a more detailed foto? Thank you.

On the night of August 4, 1789, the National Assembly, under rioter's pressure, changed French politics and history, prefiguring the abolition of the feudal rights and Guilds privileges. (1) The Goldsmiths' Guild was also deprived of its prerogatives, including ascertaining the gold and silver title...

The J. F. Kalandrin's General Regie, the last of the Ancien Regime, has been troubled by the revolutionary events that have occurred in the six years of his mandate. (1 Jan. 1787 - 31 Dec. 1792) (1) . On 1789 February 21, with the appointment of the Election, Kalandrin was also entrusted to the mark...

Hello MFArgent I add these informations for a deeper discussion of the obscure period 1793-1797. The official marks of Regie J.F. Kalandrin (Charge and Decharge) are characterized by the presence of progressive identification numbers. The Kalandrin's initial plate1789 has been lost but two plaques a...

Hello MGArgent It is very likely that the Timbale mariage was engraved in 1807, even if the LJB mark without a dot is earlier. It is ascertained that Berger worked directly or indirectly through G. Biennais, for the Emperor and his family by providing gobelets, timbales and saucers for various trave...

Hello MGArgent Yes, that is my proposal. To corroborate the proposal I add that almost all the Orfevres, who produced objects with sanglier 1, recorded the new lozenge mark to the Guarantee and Province (Douet) with a low progressive number. This means in the first days or months of the new register...

Hello everyone, The study of the L.J.Berger items is very interesting both for its vast production (many pieces have come down to us) and for the operational period with great changes in official marks, still unclear. I add to your observations mine which lead me to hypothesize a new marks classific...

You're right Trev, in facts Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is not yet fully proven after more than 100 years and Guglielmo Marconi has theorized the radio waves having observed them. I only made a hypothesis and a request for verification on the Dictionnaire Arminjon not having it available ...

Hi Blacstone,

Could the tabatiere's silversmith be Jacques-Joseph EVRARD? Rue Dauphine 20. Symbol: une massue = a club?.

Thank you very much Blakstone, I am waiting, COVID 19 permitting. As for the rest I am convinced that L. brumaire has activated the census (art.LXXXII) and replaced the official punches in force (sanglier 1 and cheval 2) with other new ones too if provisional (Coq A1 and 85 upside down: S8), as soon...

Certainly Blakstone, we will continue to look for it both in Arminjon and in other ways. However the presence of the cheval 2’s mark next to a lozenge confirms that the tabatiere’s Orfevre must have deposited his punch in the period August 1797 - January 7, 1798. It’s also possible that the poinçon ...

Hi Blackstone, The Monnaie's Museum preserves two plaques d'insculpation dated year V with the inscription "Table des Monnaie conformed a l'Arrete du Directoire executive du 21 brumaire an V" (published on Bull. 90 n ° 853 of 11November 1796). However Goldsmiths' records begin on 1 Decembe...

HI, it's necessary to specify that the French tabatiere shows the official horse's head 2 mark, in use from August 1797 to 7 January 1798. This mark is contemporary to the plaque d'insculpation an V, preserved at the Tresor Monnaie Museum, unique in its kind and mentioned by Arminjon in the introduc...

Hi I have identified the maker's mark of your French tabatiere: Henri Edmond Carpentier, symbol blackbird. (see Tableau Douet 1806 n° 287. Orfevre tabatiere rue Cimetiere S. Nicolas 9 Paris.) This tabatiere is very important for the horse's head 2 mark, which is quite rare and attests that the silve...
