18th century egg cups. Unusual discovery in the minuscule village of Crozillac in the south of France. There we meet and Jean Pierre, not strictly a dealer, but rather a Renaissance man who has a multitude of collections he wishes to dispose of. An indefatigable collector of rare and beautiful objects, his addiction to collecting requires that he occasionally sell some stuff, too, or as they say in the museum trade: deaccession. This 18th century pair is made of hand turned boxwood with a rich 200 year old patina.
