Hello everybody,

I have acquired lately a French confiturier - see photo.
It may be dated between 1819 and 1838 per two hallmarks in the upper row (see the second photo):
the proof 950/1000 (provinces) and its origin (most probably 67- Lyon).
The mark down left is most likely the maker’s.
The mark down right is the mysterious one (at least for me).
If anyone knows something about the two latter marks the help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Georg

The make is Jean Louis-Galliot of Lyon; see this thread for more information: Provincial Marks: Galliot? Tete d'Antilope?

I should note that the reference I give in that thread illustrates a very similar neoclassical-style sucrier by Galliot on p. 15.

Thank you so much. Shortly: the maker is Jean Louis Galliot of Lyon, active from around 1818.
The antelope head is the mark encountered in Lyon silver from that period and nobody knows for sure what it means.
Again, I am much obliged for your time and experise.

Kind regards,

Georg

My error: Galliot was active earlier but this mark was introduced around 1818.
