\"\"<\/a>Hercules head hallmark facing left in an oval frame, with figures for the various assay offices. For large silver objects Departments 1819-1838.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

This hallmark is sometimes called the head of Bacchus, due to the vine leaves in the hair.<\/strong>
<\/span><\/p>

The Bacchus (Hercules) head hallmark and the other hallmark illustrations on this site are from the book<\/span> Tradirtional French Jewellery<\/span><\/strong>, written by Mike Fieggen, expert in antique jewellery and hallmarks from Osprey Paris. This 300-page book, the definitive reference on French regional jewels and their hallmarks, is available in French and English in our store, on Amazon and at certain bookshops. A complete list of <\/span>the assay office marks<\/span><\/em>, small secret marks in the hallmarks that allow you to identify in which city an object was hallmarked, as well as a list of the closing dates of the guarantee offices, are included in this book. You can thus, for the first time, locate the origin of the jewels and also date them with more precision.<\/span><\/p>
