AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Complete 800 silver teapot and coffee service with tray – total weight approximately 4.2 kg

Elegant and prestigious 800 silver tea and coffee service, comprising a tray, coffee pot, teapot, cream jug, and sugar shaker, characterized by refined classical taste workmanship and rich ornamental details.
The service features a beautiful curved and shaped line, with worked edges and scroll decorations, elaborate handles, and neobaroque design touches. The teapot and the sugar shaker are embellished with ornamental and decorative elements that confer a particularly important character to the whole.
The service is tied to the tradition of Catanese silversmiths and belonged to a Sicilian aristocratic family. According to family provenance, the silversmith worked in Catania and produced fittings for high-society families and local nobility, a fact that adds historical and collectible interest to the service.

Composition:
* tray with handles
* teapot
* coffee pot
* creamer
* sugar shaker with lid

Total weight: approximately 4.2 kg.

The service has not undergone professional polishing and is presented in its current state. The silver shows oxidation, natural patina, marks and superficial scratches due to use and time. A professional cleaning and polishing could restore greater brilliance to the surface and further enhance the silverwork.

Conditions should therefore be regarded as consistent with the age and use of the service; careful viewing of the photographs is recommended, as they form an integral part of the description.
A striking presence, suitable both for use and as a silver service for collection and display.

Total weight: approximately 4.2 kg.
Material: silver, with marks on the individual elements.
