Description from the seller

Splendid and complete desk service from an antique Art Deco era, precisely dated June 2, 1927 thanks to the original card kept inside, handwritten by the parents on the occasion of a first communion and confirmation. The set is made of solid 800 silver; the "800" hallmark is clearly visible and stamped on the blotter (as shown in the photo). The other elements, while part of the same contemporaneous set, do not show visible hallmarks to the naked eye. It is housed in its original-era box with an interior lined in molded protective fabric. The set comprises 5 coordinated pieces:
- Monoblock inkwell with an octagonal base, engraved with the date June 2, 1927,
- Blotting pad (absorbent paper pad),
- Wax seal with initials engraved from the period at the base,
- Finely worked letter opener,
- Nib holder.
Total weight of the objects 293 grams (including the letter opener, which has a metal blade as was customary at the time. The box is excluded from the weight.)
Excellent vintage condition, beautiful patina of time, no part missing, a high-collectible item.
