An exquisite pair of Louis XVI-style cauldron-shaped, sterling silver salt cellars, finely decorated with swags and motifs of asparagus and laurel wreaths. Dating from around the turn of the 20th century, these feature removable white crystal cups, diamond cut for extra brilliance, and are hallmarked with the head of the goddess Minerva, the French mark for sterling silver. Each cellar rests on four delicate silver feet.
