Description from the seller
Vintage flatware service with shell motif and serving pieces – stamped “ARG. 800”
Elegant set of cutlery with a classic taste, featuring handles shaped with a rich relief decoration: a terminal shell joins swirls and vegetal motifs, creating a harmonious design that unifies the different elements of the service.
The lot includes spoons, forks, knives and teaspoons, as well as a ladle, a serving spoon and a two-tork fork. The knives have blades with a finish different from the decorated handles.
On the pieces you can see the inscription “ARG. 800”, accompanied by a small square mark. The punch is shown as observable in the photographs; the metal composition and the manufacturer have not been verified.
The set retains a pleasant patina of age. There are superficial scratches, oxidations and stains, also on the blades, as documented in the images. The decorations remain legible and give the service a strong ornamental character.
The service is part of classic 60s-70s Italian offerings, commercial plated silver services. The quality is average as with most of this kind; the silvering shows some oxidation and halos that sometimes remain, characterizing it. It represents a period and should be taken for what it is, with its defects and somewhat decadent state.
An alluring ensemble for lovers of traditional table settings, vintage cutlery and objects that tell the conviviality of a bygone era.
The photographs are an integral part of the description and show the pieces included in the lot and their state of preservation.
Measurements:
Ladle 31 cm
Large spoon and fork 26 cm
12 knives 23 cm
12 forks 20 cm
12 spoons 19.5 cm
12 teaspoons 13 cm
Total weight 3 kg
