Antique silverplate dish etched with "Hotel Fayard," a reference to the historic Maison Estignard—also known as Hôtel Fayard—in Périgueux, France. Once a Renaissance-era townhouse, the building is now a listed monument. This piece likely served in a regional guesthouse or private residence, offering a rare glimpse into 19th-century provincial French life. Today, it makes a refined catchall for keys, jewelry, or coins, blending history with everyday function. dimensions: Show more
