Set Of 19th Century Spoons And Forks In Sterling Silver

Beautiful set of six spoons and six solid silver forks, model with shell. Goldsmith's mark Émile Maitreau goldsmith in Bordeaux. The shell is present on both sides of the handle. Each element is struck with the 1st title 950/1000 silver Minerva. The shape of the spoon, very pointed with a slight flat edge, is typical of 19th century tableware. The whole is in good condition. The spoons are perfect. Note that a fork has the two outer teeth that are more worn (photo 5). The total weight is 985 g, which gives a very respectable weight of 82 g per element. This is the quality set you need for your intimate dinners of six guests.
