Description from the seller
Magnificent and important Brussels-based set of the tableware from the famous Brussels silversmith Wiskemann. This complete service, in the classic 'ribbed' design, testifies to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Court-appointed silversmith of Belgium in the 20th century.
The set is notable for the variety of its pieces, allowing coverage of all types of services: dining, fish, dessert and service of dishes. Each piece bears the authentic mark of the brand (square with a cross emblem) certifying its origin.

Condition:
Original patina, with noticeable signs of wear across all pieces (micro-scratches and rubbing marks from storage and successive cleaning). The silvering remains solid and well-presented. The knife blades require sharpening and show signs of oxidation. This set requires a full polish to restore its original luster, but there is no major desilvering (no visible yellow metal).
