Soufflot : Sterling Silver Dessert Entremets Flatware Set François I Pattern Dragons

Exquisite solid silver dessert / entremets flatware set in the very rare "François I" pattern. This service comprises 10 pieces (10 forks and 10 spoons), totaling 20 pieces, decorated in relief with spectacular intertwined dragons on both sides. Hallmarked with the French Minerva 1st Standard (.950) and the maker's mark of Master Silversmith Henri Soufflot, who entered the guild in 1884. This sublime François I pattern dessert service is in very good condition, presented in a period box, and has been serviced and cleaned by our silversmith, with only minor scratches consistent with age. Truly beautiful...
