Salt and pepper dog bowls, Silverware - Vintage

Two salverons depicting dogs: one seated and the other standing still, with two removable crystal salverons. These salverons were created by Christofle in 1931, in the purest Art Deco style. The extreme geometrisation of the animals' lines gives them an almost comic appearance. 

In this respect, these two pieces are a nod to two famous dogs of the era: Ric and Rac, drawn by Pol Rab and the hero of a humoristic weekly from 1929 to 1944. Ric, the fox terrier, is notably famous for having inspired Hergé to create the character of Snowy, Tintin's faithful companion. 

The pieces in the Christofle Vintage Collection are second-hand pieces selected and authenticated by Christofle. They are pieces in good condition and restored in our workshops in Yainville (Normandy)... More information
