Sterling Silver English Art Deco Coffee And Tea Service

Superb coffee and tea service, four pieces in solid sterling silver, art deco period with the hallmark of the city of Chester and letter date "Q" corresponding to 1939.
The service bears the mark of the goldsmith house S. Blanckensee & Son Ltd.
The geometric decoration made of straight lines, with square shapes, all in angles and stairs, creating at the same time a sober style with pure lines, typical of the period of art decoration.
It consists of a jug, a teapot, a sugar bowl and a milk jug or creamer, hexagonal in shape with a conical body, resting on four stepped legs.
The handles as well as the seeds are in mahogany painted wood. Note a small indentation of two millimeters at the base of the milk jug, next to the foot (last photo of description of the service) Some traces of scratches and other signs of use impossible to take in photos because too small, not removing nothing to the quality of service.
