Kettle Lt 2, Silver Plated, Prestige Louis XV

Ercuis's “Louis XV” collection recalls this special period, particularly in the elaborately worked kettle, consisting of a chiselled cast iron base supported by four balls of ebony, allowing it to tilt for pouring and keep the water hot over an alcohol burner. The moveable handle has an ebony handgrip. The creation of this piece takes eight hours, including assembly, soldering and finishing.
