AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A splendid and very rare, complete 12-piece set of silver oyster forks from the well-known Dutch manufacturer Gero Zeist. The forks are executed in the iconic Palmet model (Art Deco style), recognizable by the elegant, fan-shaped pattern on the handles. The head of the forks is characterized by the gracefully flared outer tines, specifically designed to easily and neatly cut and lift oysters. Whereas most Palmet flatware parts at the time were produced in silver-plated form or Zilmeta (stainless steel), this is an exclusive version made of solid silver.
Specifications:
Quantity: 12 pieces (complete set)
Length: 11 cm per fork
Material: Solid silver (.835) – 2nd grade Dutch silver
Total weight: 126 grams (net approx. 105.2 grams of pure silver)
Model: Palmet (Model 604)
Manufacturer: Gero (Zeist, Netherlands)
Hallmarks: .835 fineness stamp, Dutch sword mark and Gero master mark present on the back.
Included: Original antique case with luxurious blue lining.
The forks are in excellent vintage condition with a beautiful silver gloss. The original storage box has perfectly protected the set over the years. A unique opportunity for the collector of fine silverware or as a luxurious addition to a festive table!
