Condition Report
Good condition. Some wear to the gilt. A star-shaped crack on one at the metal attachment, likely original and not compromising the structure of the cup.
These are the alliance arms of Maurice de BERNARD de SAINT-JEAN, Viscount of SAINT-JEAN, and Marie-Alexandrine de LENTILHAC, whose descendants took the name BERNARD de SAINT-JEAN de LENTILHAC. The BERNARD de SAINT-JEAN family, originating from Languedoc, includes members such as capitouls of Toulouse, counselors to the Parliament of Toulouse, and lieutenants of the marshals of France. Marie-Alexandrine de LENTILHAC is the daughter of Louis-Victor, Marquis of LENTILHAC, Knight of the Legion of Honour and the Order of Saint Ferdinand of Spain, and a royalist deputy of the Lot. This elegant pair of cups was likely a gift to mark the marriage of the couple on November 15, 1855.
