Large French cutlery set for 12 people made of silver-plated metal by Le Couvert Français, circa 1930–1950. The high-quality 100 silver plating is in wonderful condition, with only minimal wear consistent with normal use. The knives have off-white bakelite handles.
The set comes in its large original case, in very good condition. One of the upper clasps is missing, but it is not necessary to keep the case closed and is purely an aesthetic issue.
The set consists of:
12 table spoons: 20.2 cm, 81 g
12 table forks: 20.2 cm, 67 g
12 table knives (bakelite handles): 23.5 cm, 49 g
11 starter knives (bakelite handles): 19.8 cm, 30 g
1 serrated knife (bakelite handle): 23.5 cm, 49 g
12 teaspoons: 13.5 cm, 33 g
12 dessert forks: 13.5 cm, 27 g
1 ladle
1 cake server
1 sugar tongs
The 100 hallmark indicates that 100 grams of silver were used to plate the 12 spoons and another 100 grams for the 12 forks. This represents very high-quality silver plating, as the standard is 84.
