Missiaglia - Missiaglia - Vegetable dish (2) - .800 silver

LEGUMIERA composed of two pieces from the famous Venetian house Missiaglia. The object is made in the Louis XV style (also known as Italian Barocchetto). Specifically, the design draws on the decorative repertoire of French and Italian 18th century, which was then taken up and widely reproduced by silversmiths throughout the 20th century. The main stylistic features that define it are: • The Baccellatura: The characteristic work with domed, ribbed wedges (baccelli) arranged in a radiating pattern on the dome is a typical element of the late Baroque and Rococo. It creates a dynamic play of light and reflections on the shiny metal surface. • The Poly-lobed Profile: The outer edge is not smooth, but follows a wavy, lobed (fluted) line. This sinuous asymmetry perfectly embodies the rejection of rigid geometric lines, typical of the Louis XV style. • The Naturalistic Knob: The central handle modeled with organic shapes echoes natural themes (such as pomegranates, pumpkins, small artichokes, or buds). This taste for figurative floral or vegetal detail is another cornerstone of period silverware in this style.
