AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Massive 800-silver – Masterful handicraft in the classical style
For sale is an exceptionally magnificent and very rare 5-piece tea and coffee service made from solid 800-silver. The entire set impresses with its timeless, elegant design featuring fine, serpentine gadrooning (rib detailing) and noble Baroque relief and shell embellishments that create a fascinating play of light.
The absolute centerpiece of this ensemble is the monumental silver samovar (tea machine / tipping water kettle on a warming stand), whose base is adorned with artistic, intricately perforated ornaments. It is complemented by a very large, heavy serving tray with a scalloped edge.
The elegant handles serve as artistic insulators. According to an available expert report from a qualified ivory appraiser, this is real ivory, dated to the period 1960–1970.

The service is described as being in a very beautiful, well-maintained overall condition. It shows a fine, authentic patina as well as minimal, age-related surface features that are typical for historic silverware. No major damage or deep dents.
