Scallop Bowl

Timeless Coastal Elegance for the Curated Home

This exquisite small bowl, traditionally known in France as an écuelle, is a testament to the renowned craftsmanship of Félix Frères. Based in Toulouse, this historic silversmith was celebrated for supplying high-end hotels and French estates with exceptional silverware. Crafted from "Métal Blanc"—a premium silver-plated alloy—this piece offers a substantial weight and a depth of luster that feels both historical and remarkably fresh.

The defining feature of this piece is its two beautifully sculpted scallop shell handles. A recurring motif in French decorative arts and a nod to the coastal influences often found in fine silver, the coquille adds a touch of organic charm to the bowl’s clean and architectural silhouette.
