AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco Silver-Plated Tea and Coffee Service with Tray – Probably 1930s
An elegant Art Deco-style tea and coffee service, distinguished by its faceted bodies, angular spouts and geometric lid finials. The warm tones of the wooden handles provide an attractive contrast to the silver-plated surfaces.
The set comprises:
• A coffee pot with lid
• A teapot with lid
• A covered sugar bowl
• An oval serving tray with two handles
The restrained decoration and sculptural proportions are characteristic of Art Deco design. The service is likely to date from circa 1925–1940, although the precise date and maker remain unconfirmed.
Marks:
The photographed marks include “MÉTAL BLANC”, numerical marks apparently reading “20 G” and “15 G”, and a small pictorial maker’s mark within a square cartouche. The numerical marks are consistent with silver-plating weight indications. The maker’s mark has not yet been identified.
The service is described as silver-plated, not solid silver. The tray is included as part of the ensemble, although its original association with the service has not been established.
Provenance:
Purchased from an antiques dealer in Brussels, Belgium.
A decorative ensemble combining the clean geometry of Art Deco with the warmth of wooden handles, suitable for display on a sideboard or as part of a period table setting.
