Description from the seller
Lot of 62 pieces of vintage silver-plated metal cutlery, presented in two presentation cases.
The lot comprises 62 pieces in total, divided as follows:
50 pieces in the large presentation case.
12 small teaspoons in a second presentation case.
Both cases are included in the lot and the pieces are sold together.
The main set consists of different types of cutlery, including spoons, forks, knives and serving pieces, with ornamental and floral decoration in a classic style, featuring decorative details on the handles.
Brands and features
In several pieces of the main set there are manufacturer marks, including a mark “AP” accompanied by a figure resembling a dog/poodle. This mark is associated with Achille Princet, a Paris-related maker and silversmith. The mark is clearly visible in the close-up photographs.
The different pieces do not necessarily bear exactly the same mark. For this reason, the photographs include close-ups of the marks and stamps found on the set.
The knives have a different inscription on the blade, visible in the photographs, similar to “SUPER”. The blade has a finish different from that of the silver-plated cutlery.
The second case contains 12 small teaspoons. These pieces bear a mark “18G” and a rectangular stamp, visible in the detail photographs and in the magnified photographs.
Material
The pieces are offered as silver-plated metal and not solid silver. The marks and features of the different pieces are shown in the photographs.
Condition
The set presents a vintage condition, with normal signs of use and aging.
Most pieces are in generally decent condition and show mainly oxidation, surface stains and loss of shine typical of age. These pieces may benefit from proper cleaning and polishing.
Some specific pieces show small dark spots, stains and localized wear of the plating, especially in certain areas of the surfaces and handles. These details are visible in the photographs and do not affect all pieces in the set.
These signs of age are not hidden: the photographs show both the overall state of the lot and the details of the pieces with more wear.
Cases
The lot includes two presentation cases.
The large case shows significant exterior wear and visible damage on some edges and surface areas, consistent with its age. The interior retains the lining and the spaces for placing the cutlery.
The second case, corresponding to the 12 small teaspoons, also shows signs of use and age.
The cases are included as part of the lot and should be considered antique presentation cases, with wear appropriate to their age.
Dimensions
The main case measures approximately 50 × 30 cm.
The indicated dimensions are approximate. It is recommended to refer to the photographs to appreciate the size and arrangement of the pieces.
Dating
Estimated period: 20th century, vintage.
The exact date of manufacture has not been determined.
