International customers, please note: this item may be subject to duties or import fees at the time of delivery
A refined mid-century French silver timbale by Pierre Maeght, crafted in Paris in the 1950s. Made of solid silver (not plated), this elegant two-handled cup features beautifully scrolled neoclassical side handles and a crisp fluted border at the base. The silhouette is graceful and tapering, giving the piece an elevated, almost ceremonial presence.
Originally designed as a timbale or presentation cup, it now makes a striking decorative accent — perfect for a silver collection, a holiday tablescape, a vanity vignette, or a quiet-luxury bookshelf moment. French silversmith Pierre Maeght is known for his meticulous post-war craftsmanship, and examples of his work are increasingly scarce on the market.
