AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb tea and coffee service by Christofle – Gallia collection, an elegant set dating from the early 20th century. Louis XVI style.
Each piece bears the Gallia hallmarks as well as the number O 177, attesting to its authenticity.

Service composition

1 coffee maker 20.5 cm
1 teapot 23 cm
1 sugar bowl with lid 15 cm
1 milk / cream pot, 12 cm
Weight 1.5 kg

Ebonite handles (for both decanters) with light wear. Classic decoration with gadrooned motifs and shells, typical of the Gallia collection.

Generally in good condition for its age. The hallmarks are perfectly legible. The teapot has two defects to note: a small 'import' / dent on the front and a slight deformation at the base, which causes a slight imbalance when placed.

The other pieces are in very good condition, with a beautiful shine.
