Six Silver Place Settings In 19th‑century Mauritian Style – 6 Forks, 6 Spoons, 6 Dessert Forks

Six silver place settings in the Mauritian style, comprising 6 forks, 6 spoons, and 6 dessert forks. Each piece bears the hallmark of Turin silversmith and master craftsman Giovanni Vernoni, active in the early 19th century and renowned for the refinement of his work and the quality of his finishes.

Historical note: The Mauritian style, which emerged in Piedmont between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is characterised by understated elegance, harmonious proportions, and a strong Neoclassical influence. It takes its name from the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus, a chivalric order of the House of Savoy, whose aesthetic inspired numerous decorative and silversmith creations. Turin silversmith Giovanni Vernoni was celebrated for his technical mastery and produced silverware intended for the nobility of the Savoy court.
