Description from the seller
Vintage Empire-style tea and coffee service - 4 pieces - silver plated (A-ARG 90 / ARG 1000)
Elegant and sturdy tea and coffee service consisting of 4 pieces, made in Italy in the mid-20th century. The set stands out for its refined neoclassical lines in perfect Empire Style, characterized by slender bodies, stepped circular bases, and geometric beaded cord decorations (godronatura).
The robustness and substantial weight of the individual pieces attest to the high quality of the base metal alloy (nickel silver/heavy brass), finished with a valuable antique silver electroplating. A visually striking set, perfect for formal dining or as a display piece for collectors.

Overall good condition with signs of age and use
The service presents a bright, solid build, but there are three specific details to report (carefully documented in photos):
1. Coffee pot (Hinge): The flip mechanism of the lid is disassembled due to the absence of the pin (through metal pin). The hinge teeth are intact and fit perfectly; when displayed, the lid rests stably in place in a completely unnoticeable way. Requires insertion of a new pin to restore a fixed opening.
2. Sugar bowl (Plating wear): Originally stamped "Argento 1000," it shows typical wear from rubbing (bleeding) along the protruding edges of the lid and base, where the core metal beneath is exposed, a detail that gives the piece a magnificent authentic patina.
3. The teapot and creamer do not have significant structural defects and retain excellent silvering.
Please examine the photo gallery carefully, which is an integral part of the description, to assess the details and the condition of the items.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
