A refined 19th-century fruit service, comprising 18 pieces—6 knives, 6 two-pronged forks, and 6 spoons—presented in its original case (42 x 25 cm) covered in blue leather with a gold silk lining.
the silver-plated metal handles are finely decorated with longitudinal fluting and an oval medallion in relief depicting a still life with fruit, in the pure louis xvi neoclassical style. The functional parts—blades, spoon heads, and fork tines—display beautiful antique gilding, likely fired, with warm, deep reflections.
the set shows slight oxidation and wear to the gilding, entirely consistent with its age, attesting to a long and distinguished life. Typical of french silversmithing from the napoleon iii period with louis xvi decoration.
a superb piece of character, ideal for a festive table or a collector's display case. Ready to find its place in an elegant interior.
