"Ernest Prost, Solid Silver Tea, Coffee And Chocolate Service – Art Deco Circa 1930"
Complete tea, coffee and chocolate service in solid silver, hexagonal in shape with cut sides, typical of the Art Deco style. Each piece rests on a stepped base and has an ogee lid topped with a wooden knob matching the angular handles. Interior of the milk jug and sugar bowl gilded. Beautiful condition, scratches from use, beautiful shine of the silver. The geometric rigor, the purity of the volumes and the contrast between the polished silver and the dark wood perfectly illustrate the French Art Deco taste of the 1930s.
The work of Ernest Prost, a silversmith active in Paris, is distinguished by the quality of execution and the elegant sobriety of the forms, adapted to the modernity of the time.
