ABOUT PRODUCTID 1691
This French table centerpiece cutlery set from the 1880s features a serving knife and fork crafted from 950 silver and silver-plated metal. The handles, hallmarked with the Minerva head, highlight the authenticity and origin of the set. Raised floral and foliate motifs in a neoclassical style adorn the elongated forms, with faceted edges and beaded borders, while the knife blade and fork head display openwork and engraved patterns. The transition between the handle and blade/tines is accentuated by a sculpted, fluted collar. The surface remains smooth and lustrous, with crisp details, free from signs of wear or restoration. Balanced proportions and fluid lines evoke the atmosphere of a late 19th-century French table, where everyday objects were elevated to the level of small works of craftsmanship. The ornamentation recalls the gentle movement of leaves and flowers, as if the silver captured a fragment of a bygone garden. The cool sheen and pronounced details create a sense of harmony and permanence, while each touch suggests the resonant sound of silver accompanying ceremonial serving. This set may serve as a focal point during gatherings or special occasions, paired with classic porcelain or light-toned linen textiles. It could be combined with a crystal bowl or glass platter to accentuate the silver and openwork details. The cutlery will stand out against dark wood or marble surfaces, accompanied by candles and delicate floral arrangements, setting the scene for memorable moments around the table.
