Exceptional .800 Silver Cutlery Set for 12 – 84 Pieces
Ricci, Genova – 1950s/1960s

This remarkable solid silver cutlery service is far more than a table setting — it is a true heritage piece, combining Italian silversmithing excellence, aristocratic provenance, and enduring patrimonial value.

Crafted in the 1950s–1960s by the renowned Ricci silversmith of Genova, one of the most important Italian silver manufacturers of the 20th century, this imposing and massive service was originally offered as a prestigious wedding gift to a noble, royal-connected family from Northern Italy. Carefully preserved within the family for decades, it has been handed down through generations and remains in exceptional condition today.

An Impressive and Heavy Service
This is a substantial, weighty, and highly impressive ensemble, conceived for grand dining and formal entertaining. The pieces are made of solid 800 silver and feel notably heavy and luxurious in hand, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship of the period.

The service includes its original wooden presentation case and has always been maintained with great care. It shows only minimal, honest signs of use consistent with age and has no breaks, losses, or restorations.

Weights
	•	Approx. 4.5 kg of solid 800 silver
	•	Approx. 5.8 kg total weight including knives
	•	Estimated weight with original wooden case: over 10 kg

This makes it not only a refined collectible but also a significant tangible silver asset.

Contents – 84 Pieces
Service for 12 people, including main dining pieces and serving elements, all perfectly matching and preserved.

A Noble Provenance
Originally presented as a wedding gift and coming from a distinguished noble family with royal connections, this service embodies tradition, prestige, and timeless elegance. Its provenance, combined with its impressive mass and completeness, makes it a rare opportunity on today’s market.

Valuation
The service has been appraised at €15,000, reflecting both its intrinsic silver value and its historical and collectible significance.

A museum-quality ensemble, ideal for collectors, investors, or anyone wishing to own a powerful symbol of heritage, refinement, and lasting value.
