AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of 29 dessert cutlery (12 forks and 12 medium spoons + 5 serving utensils: 1 fork with 4 tines, 1 with 3 tines, 2 serving spoons, 1 knife)
Style: The handles show a Neoclassical / Empire decoration, enriched with chased details. The perimeter is outlined by a geometric beaded border (microbeading), alternated with small foliate motifs and palmettes near the junction. The functional surface of the paddle/serving piece features fine engravings of vegetal volutes.
The cutlery has handles in silver (the hallmark bears 800) and blades in high-quality Solingen steel.
The service dates back to the 1950s/60s and shows the typical patina of silver.
The original box has been lost.
N.B. In gross weight, the cutlery broken with the two handles in silver is not counted (and consequently is not included in the price estimate).
