The handles are crafted from 950/1000 first-standard French silver, while the serving ends are thickly silver-plated, as was customary for luxury tableware of the period. The square master’s mark on the plated parts and the rhombus-shaped mark on the silver handles identify the maker as Louis Coignet (registered in Paris, 1893–1928). Presented in its original, period-correct retailer’s case.
