About Cellini Salt Cellar

The Cellini Salt Cellar is a part-enamelled gold table sculpture by Benvenuto Cellini (c.1500–1571). It was completed in 1543 for Francis I of France (r.1515–1547), from silver plate models that had been prepared many years earlier for Cardinal Ippolito d'Este (c.1479–1520).
