Description from the seller
Set of 6 Vermeil Coffee Spoons (Solid 950 Silver) - Silversmith PB - Original box with Key - Late 19th Century
Description :
Object: Rare and elegant set of 6 coffee spoons (or moka) in vermeil. Material: First-grade solid silver (950/1000) coated with a thin layer of gold (Vermeil). Total weight of the spoons: 76 grams. Hallmarks: * Minerva Head: French guarantee mark "Head of Minerva" in an octagonal frame (1st title) present on each piece.
Silversmith: Master mark "PB" with a central symbol (attributed to a Parisian silversmith of the late 19th century, in the style of Philippe Berthier).
Design & Style: Superb Rocaille / Louis XV style with spoons richly adorned with volutes, foliage and floral motifs. The chasing work is of great finesse, typical of high French silverwork.
Case: The set is presented in its original box made of precious wood (rosewood or mahogany veneer), with its red velvet and silk lining. Rare detail: the box has its original functional key.
Condition:
Spoons: Excellent condition. The vermeil remains very bright and nicely gold-colored, with no major visible wear. No deformation or deep scratches.
Box: Very good overall condition for its age. Some signs of use on the wood that attest to its authenticity. The lock mechanism is operational.
