Puiforcat: 36-piece Regency Style Sterling Silver Flatware Set, Elysee Pattern

Prestigious solid silver dessert flatware set by PUIFORCAT in the Regency style, known as the ELYSEE pattern. This model, the epitome of elegance and refinement, has been called ELYSEE since it graced the formal tables of the Presidents of the French Republic at the Élysée Palace since the late 1940s, representing the pinnacle of French tableware. This Elysée flatware set comprises 12 dessert place settings (12 forks and 12 spoons) and 12 dessert knives, for a total of 36 pieces, all with monogrammed handles and spatulas. The knife blades are stainless steel and signed in full "PUIFORCAT". A flatware set presented in two boxes (one for the cutlery and the other for the knives), each piece bearing the French Minerva 1st Standard hallmark (.950) and the hallmark of the master silversmith Emile Puiforcat, with the knife blades also bearing the full signature "Puiforcat". This prestigious dessert flatware set, in the Elysée pattern, is in very good overall condition with minor scratches from use. See the attached photos for details...
