Superb-quality, oval and shaped antique silver-gilt wine cistern of substantial quality and weight, resting on lion's paws feet. The body is elongated with foliage and floral decorations around a Rococo Revival cartouche featuring the arms of Campbell, Duke of Argyll.
Wine cisterns are the grandest example of wine coolers as they are monumental works of silver. Like this example, cisterns were often made for royal or aristocratic households and engraved with armorial arms and mottos. This provenance of aristocratic origins has an impact on the value of the piece.
