Les Etains du Manoir - Table service for 12 (16) - Tin

Table ensemble Les Étains du Manoir, 5 coffrets, étain massif argenté, motif gerbes de blé

Description
Complete service of 16 table accessories spread across 5 original boxes, made in silvered pewter by the prestigious French manufacture Les Étains du Manoir.
The set embodies the classic theme of the “Wheat Sheaf,” a symbol of abundance and prosperity in decorative arts.
Each element is finely sculpted and relief-embossed to depict ripe ears of wheat tied with a ribbon. The shine of the metal and the precision of the details (grain of wheat, ligatures) give depth and elegance to these decorative objects for the table.

The crest stamped “Étains du Manoir” and the visual on the hanging labels correspond to the manufacturer’s graphic charter from the 1970s–1980s.
