Queillé: Solid Silver Gilt Tea Set In A Case, Late 19th Century. Spoon
Artist: Queillé
Superb silver-gilt tea service dating from the late 19th century.
The service is housed in a blackened wooden case inlaid with brass threads and a floral motif. The interior is lined with light blue fabric. The key is unfortunately missing.
The service consists of fifteen silver-gilt pieces:
. Twelve spoons decorated with an interlacing frieze and a semi-circular pattern
. A sugar tong ending in lion paws and featuring the same decoration as the spoons
. A shell-shaped spoon for pouring tea into the teapot
. A tea strainer
Each piece is hallmarked:
. Minerva, 2nd grade for 800/°° silver since 1838
. Goldsmith's hallmark: PQ with an antique oar for Pierre Queillé
The Queillé family is a prominent goldsmith family, and this hallmark was used by Eugène François Queillé, active from 1847 to 1880, and his son Elvire, active from 1874 to 1895.
A very beautiful tea set, understated and elegant, with the quality characteristic of the great goldsmiths of the late 19th century. Featuring beautiful silver gilt and its original box.
14 cm long for the spoons
256.24 grams for all the silver gilt pieces
910 grams with the box
Good condition. Minor signs of use and wear on the box.
