An antique 800 silver and parcel gilt serving set with original presentation case. The large blue case bears the inscription for L. Posen, Berlin & Frankfurt, Germany. The set is marked with the “crescent and crown mark” for Germany post 1888 along with two other marks that are mostly likely for the well known firm of L. Posen.
Beautifully detailed with acanthus leaves, bay leaf cartouches, and ribbons… the design of the set leans towards “French Empire”.
The largest two pieces, serving fork and spoon measure 9 ½” in length. The two smaller forks and the two knives measure 8 ¼” in length. All six pieces are in very good antique condition. It appears they were always kept in their case after use. Good weight, total 520 grams or approx. 16.64 troy oz.
Circa 1900
Condition, very good, with only minor surface scratches to note. The gilt is in very good condition.
Marks, crescent and crown for German 800 silver, to the right of 800 and above are two marks that I believe are marks for Posen. The word Posen is not impressed in the silver on any piece. Please email me if you have further information on these marks.
