The elegance of silverware - an antique carving set from the neo-Rococo period
With fine engraving and opulent decoration, this magnificent 800 silver carving set tells a story of elegance and dining culture. Made in Germany around 1880, it combines the playful lightness of Rococo with the prestigious elements of Historicism - a true masterpiece of silver craftsmanship.
The skilfully curved handles are adorned with floral ornaments, every detail precisely crafted and harmoniously coordinated. A fine cartouche bears the monogram of its former owner - a faint hint of the aristocratic past, a trace of history that has been preserved through the generations.
In addition to the generous carving set, three elegant meat forks in the same pattern complete the ensemble, a rarity that emphasises its exclusivity. Illegibly marked but of undeniable quality, this set exudes the charm of an era in which silverware was more than just cutlery - it was a sign of style, refinement and festive hospitality.
Preserved in excellent, collectible condition, this carving set is not just a functional tool, but a true work of art - ready to adorn a festively laid table or shine as a precious collector's item.
A touch of times gone by, captured in pure silver.
