French Louis XVI Style Silver Gilt Dessert Set, 19th Century
An exceptional two-piece French luxury dessert serving set (service à glace et entremets), dating from the late 19th century (circa 1880–1900).
This elegant set comprises a wide-bladed serving spatula and a generously proportioned oval serving spoon, specifically designed for slicing and serving ice cream, parfaits, and fine pastries.
Crafted in the refined Louis XVI Revival style, these pieces are distinguished by their elegant architectural design and finely detailed decoration. Each handle features a sculpted, symmetrical baluster form, terminating in an ornamental finial adorned with acanthus leaves.
The solid silver handles extend into magnificent vermeil (silver-gilt) serving ends, creating a refined contrast and showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of 19th-century French silversmithing.
