Puiforcat : Sterling Silver Fish Cutlery Service For 12 Guests , Elysee Pattern

Prestigious solid silver fish service by Puiforcat in the Regency style, known as the Elysée pattern. This model, the epitome of elegance and refinement, has been called Elysée 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 service comprises 12 fish forks and 12 fish knives, for a total of 24 pieces, all with monogrammed handles. The service is presented in its two original boxes (one for the forks and the other for the knives). Each piece bears the French Minerva 1st Standard hallmark (.925) and the hallmark of the silversmith Emile Puiforcat. This prestigious complete Elysée fish service is in very good condition, with only minor scratches from use. See the attached photos for details...
