Leukara Silverware / Pano Lefkara - Spoon - Silver - Cyprus – 10-Piece Silver

This lot features an exceptional, investment-grade 10-piece solid silver dessert and appetizer set from Cyprus, comprising 5 matching spoons and 5 matching two-pronged forks. 100% Masterfully Handmade Artistry: This is not a mass-produced machine-stamped set. Every single piece is entirely handmade by a master silversmith using the traditional Lefkara silver filigree technique (Lefkaritika). Originating from the famous mountain village of Pano Lefkara in Cyprus, this meticulous craft involves hand-drawing fine silver wires, twisting them, and fusing them into an intricate, lace-like openwork design. The ornate floral finials and hand-twisted braided borders on the flat handles stand as a testament to hours of highly skilled, painstaking artisan labor. Substantial Silver Value & Weight: Unlike typical delicate or flimsy filigree items, this vintage set is built with heavy, robust stems and solid bowls/prongs. It boasts a highly impressive, verified total weight of 180 grams of solid .800 silver—providing immense intrinsic precious metal value alongside its rare cultural craftsmanship. • Origin: Cyprus (Lefkara region) • Craftsmanship: 100% Completely Handmade / Hand-Wrought Filigree • Object Type: Dessert / Appetizer Flatware Set (5 Spoons, 5 Forks) • Count: 10 pieces total • Material: Solid Silver .800 fineness • Hallmarks: Each piece is individually stamped "S800" on the reverse side of the stem, guaranteeing the silver content. • Total Combined Weight: 180 grams (Heavy-gauge .800 silver) • Design Motif: Authentic Lefkaritika filigree work with openwork multi-petaled flower accents. Condition • Grade: Excellent Vintage Condition. • Details: The set is beautifully preserved with absolutely no broken filigree wires, bent prongs, or structural repairs. It retains its authentic, rich natural silver patina within the hand-wrought recesses, perfectly accentuating the depth and detail of the master lace craftsmanship. Please inspect the high-resolution photographs to fully appreciate the stunning handmade quality and verified scale weight before placing your bid.
