Description from the seller
Set of 6 coffee spoons in vermeil (solid silver 950) - PB silversmith - original box with key - Late 19th century
Description
Subject: Rare and elegant set of 6 coffee spoons (or moka spoons) in vermeil. Material: Sterling silver of 1st title (950/1000) coated with a thin layer of gold (vermeil). Total weight of the spoons: 76 grams. Hallmarks: * Minerve: French guarantee hallmark 'Head of Minerva' in an octagonal frame (1st title) present on each piece.
Goldsmith: Maker's mark "PB" with a central symbol (attributed to a Parisian goldsmith of the late 19th century, in the style of Philippe Berthier).
Design & Style: Superb Rocaille/Louis XV-style decor with spatulas richly adorned with volutes, foliage and floral motifs. The engraving work is of great finesse, typical of high French silversmithing.
Presentation case: The set is presented in its original box made of precious wood (rosewood or mahogany veneer), with its interior in red velvet and silk. Rare detail: the box has its original functional key.
Condition status
Spoons: In excellent condition. The vermeil remains very bright and nicely yellow, with no major visible wear. No deformation or deep scratches.
Coffret: Very good overall condition for its age. A few signs of wear on the wood that attest to its authenticity. The lock mechanism is operational.
