Антикварный серебряный набор в стиле Ампир

Incredible antique silver tea and coffee set. The set includes a teapot, a coffee pot, a milk jug and a sugar bowl. The handles are made of ebony (which is convenient when using hot drinks), the lids on the teapot and coffee pot are not removable. All items, including the lids and legs, are marked with the Minevra hallmark in an octagonal cartouche, which indicates high-quality 950 sterling silver. The bottom is marked with a jewelry workshop in a diamond, the image corresponds to the Edmond Tetard manufactory that operated from 1880 to 1903 in Paris. The silver set is decorated in the Empire style, which is clearly evidenced by the use of Egyptian themes (camel heads, lion paws, and palm trees are depicted). Each piece is engraved with the customer's monogram on the shoulders. Such beautiful pieces were usually ordered by the French aristocracy of the nineteenth century. The service is in good antique condition, the silver is cleaned of patina and polished to a charming shine.
