Reed And Barton Francis 1 Sterling Silver Compote Dish Repoussé 427 Grams ML
This listing is for a sterling silver compote bowl/dish by Reed and Barton in the Francis I, pattern created between 1906-07 and retired in 2019. The Renaissance inspired pattern was originally created by French silversmith Ernest Meyer and named for Francis of Angouleme who became king of France during the lavish French Renaissance time of the 16th century. It features repoussé fruits, leaves and scrolls. The sterling compote dish is 4-1/4″ high, 7-7/8″ in diameter at the top and 3-3/5 in diameter at the base. It is stamped under Hallmark, Reed&Barton, sterling, X568, Francis I. Total weight: 427 grams. There is no monogram! There are no dents or dings, it could use another polish. A splendid piece of artisanship and a solid investment! Please, carefully view the photos as they are part of the description. All sales are final.
