Description from the seller
Exquisite 24-piece dessert and fruit cutlery set in solid 800 silver for 12 people from the glamorous era of Austrian Art Déco. The set impresses with its elegant, geometrically stepped lines at the ends of the handles—a timeless Wiener design classic from the interwar period.
The set is complete and consists of:
12 dessert/fruit forks (length: approx. 14.5 cm | total weight: 360 g
12 dessert/fruit knives (length: approx. 17.5 cm | total weight: 370 g gross with steel blades)
Special detail / Monogram:
The handles of all cutlery pieces are ornately engraved on the front with an elegant, era-typical monogram—the letter “S”—emphasizing the noble origin and the individual manufacture character of the set.
Stamps & Expertise:
All pieces are repeatedly and continuously stamped and document the historical origin beyond doubt.
1. Manufacturer: Wiener Silber Manufactur (historical factory mark: stylized chalice/Roman glass on all pieces).
2. Official Vienna “Toucan Punch” (with the letter “W” for Wien and the number “4”): Guarantees the state inspection and authenticity of the 800 silver as well as the period of origin between 1922 and 1939.
3. Fineness hallmark “800”: Found on both the forks and the blade blades.
4. Vienna Master Punch: Engraved, stylized chalice/hourglass symbol of the silversmiths responsible for the work.
The cutlery is in a very good, well-kept condition with age-related, minimal surface scratches (patina) that emphasize the authentic character. No deep scratches, dents, or damages. The blades sit firmly in the blades.
The set is delivered in the pictured, precisely fitting original case with a bright red inlay.
A beautiful and rare collectible ensemble from pre-war Vienna, perfect for a festive table or as a valuable antique.
