….. A silver-plated bottle opener by Saint Hilaire, Paris, presented in its original orange box. A long, softly domed oval, polished to a mirror shine, it looks like a smooth river stone and works like a very good bottle opener: a single cutout at one end is fitted to lift a crown cap in one motion. A small maker's mark is engraved just below the opening. Weighted, and it feels great in the hand.
The box is as good as the object. Bright orange, the lid is gilt-stamped Saint Hilaire PARIS and opens to a tan lining with the maker's name stamped inside the lid and a fitted tray shaped to the opener's oval. "design Anne Lavelli" is stamped in the corner of the tray. Sold with its original box, it is ready to give as it stands.
Saint Hilaire of Paris is known to collectors for polished silver-plated barware and tabletop pieces, including champagne buckets, coolers, cocktail shakers and caviar bowls, which turn up today in French Art Deco and mid-century barware collections.
