Solingen - Dinner service (85) - Silverplated

This ornate silver set is made in the Rococo style, a decorative aesthetic characterized by intricate scrollwork, shell motifs, and floral elements. The set is likely to date to the early 20th century.
Identification and Potential Models
Although several silversmiths made similar designs, your set closely resembles the models often referred to as “Louis XV” or “Marly”.
Christofle “Marly”: One of the most famous and opulent French designs, with asymmetrical leaf and scroll patterns that mirror the patterns seen in the photo.
Maison Puiforcat “Louis XV”: A luxurious French sterling silver model with very similar Rococo style handles.
François Frionnet: A Parisian maker known for his Louis XV/Rococo style silver plated sets with “rocaille” and floral designs.
The "SILBER 100" marking on silver-plated items indicates that the item is silver-plated, not solid silver.
Specifically, this is a standard European marking system, where the number "100" refers to the amount of silver used in the electroplating process.
Contents of the set
36 pieces of large knives (23.5x2.5), spoons (21x4.5), forks (21x2.5).
36 pieces of smaller knives (21.5x2), forks, spoons (14.5x3).
12 pieces of cake forks.Beautiful wooden cutlery holder with red inlay and copper handle.So a total of 85 pieces.
Understanding the "100" Mark
Electroplating Standard: "100" means that 100 grams of pure silver was used to electroplate a 24-piece cutlery set (typically 12 forks and 12 spoons).
Compared to other common plating markings, such as "90", the "100" marking indicates a slightly thicker layer of silver plating.So the set is not solid silver but contains approximately 4-500 grams of silver.
The set is in absolutely good condition.
