An absolutely gorgeous, substantial vintage coffee urn or beverage dispenser featuring silver-plated/silver-soldered construction with brass details, ornate lion-footed legs, decorative handles, floral accents, and an elegant finial.
This exceptional piece comes with a very interesting history. I was told that the former owner, who owned an upscale restaurant in Alabama, purchased the urn many years ago from a Ritz-Carlton hotel in France. According to the story, he fell in love with the urn while staying at the hotel and, after lengthy negotiations, the hotel agreed to sell it to him. I have not found a Ritz-Carlton logo or marking on the urn, so this history is being shared as it was related to me and is not presented as documented provenance.
The urn appears to be silver soldered, a type of heavy-duty silver-plated construction commonly associated with commercial hotel and restaurant service. It has an impressive cylindrical body with brass lion-footed legs, decorative floral detailing, substantial handles, and an ornate finial.
The walls are exceptionally thick, approximately 1 inch, making this a very heavy and substantial piece that should retain the heat of coffee or tea for an extended period.A rare, unique, and impressive statement piece— functional for entertaining. Perfect for large gatherings, special events, parties, restaurants, hotels, catering businesses, or as a distinctive decorative piece
Fully functional and believed to hold approximately 469 fluid ounces—about 75 six-ounce cups of coffee or tea. Capacity is approximate; please refer to the measurements for your own calculation. I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY.
Measurements: Approximately 25” tall to the top of the lid, 20” tall without the lid, and 11” in diameter.
