Silver fruitbowl, French? Maker?

[Vantlicht]

This silver fruitbowl is marked with in my opinion French hallmarks. There is a makersmark looked like A tower R of AAR. Could somebody determine this silver bowl? The maker, city and period? Thanks in advance! MY knowledge of french silver is very limited...

The hallmark, a beahive surrounded by bees between the letters A R is that of Adolphe Roustaing, later Roustaing and Compagnie, from 1909 to sometime after 1929.

To clarify some terminology:

Poinçon de titre in English is called a hallmark. It is a guarantee of the value of the metal, in the case of this bowl the Minerva head for objects made of 950 standard silver.

What you have called a hallmark in English is called a maker’s mark, in French poinçon de responsabilité. From the post-Revolutionary period to the present the maker’s initials and symbol are stamped in a lozenge-shaped reserve.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
