Hippolyte Thomas - Dinner set (12) - Silver

A complete set of twelve antique French oyster forks made by Parisian silversmith Hippolyte Thomas between 1845 and 1855, presented in their original fitted case.

The three-pronged forks feature richly decorated handles with rocaille motifs, acanthus leaves and ornamental bellflowers, characteristic of mid-19th-century French silverwork.

Crafted entirely from 800/1000 silver, each fork bears French silver hallmarks and the maker's mark HT with a rose and star.

The forks measure 15.5 cm in length, with a total silver weight of 295 g. Preserved in very good antique condition.

From the Bednarek family collection, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and historical documentation.
