Argencar - Cutlery set for 12 (75) - CONTOUR - Steel - Vintage cutlery set

The ENCAR INOX brand represents one of the historic standouts of Italian cutlery manufacturing in the second half of the twentieth century.
Based in the renowned Lombard manufacturing district of Paderno Dugnano, the company, founded by Enrico Carpi (EN.CAR.), stood out for introducing industrial techniques and naming its line for the silver electroplating of cutlery ARG-ENCAR.
This particular process made it possible to produce cutlery with the warm, prestigious shine typical of solid silverware, while offering structural strength and resistance to bending and wear that could not be achieved with traditional soft metals.
Elegant complete vintage dinner service for 12, comprising a total of 75 matching pieces. The set is in excellent condition, featuring a beautiful mirror polish and no deep scratches or warping. Each piece bears the official guarantee hallmark on the back of the handle or on the blade. The design features classic, slender lines, enhanced by a refined stylized geometric/floral motif of small beads at the base of the handle. The entire set is stored in its distinctive original red anti-tarnish cloth with blue trim, ideal for preserving the silver's shine over time.
