FERNER STERLING Handarbeit Coffee Tea SET 79 troy ounces

NO RESERVE

Weighing over 79 troy ounces of Solid Sterling Silver, this set would scrap out today for around $1,200.00!
(Since my jeweler’s scale doesn’t go that high, I’ve had the post office weigh the set for me and then I’ve converted the normal ounces to troy ounces.)
The Coffee Pot measures 9-1/2” high and is impeccably and meticulously made.
This is a very high end set which includes all pieces shown in the photos!
BEAUTIFUL!
Made by and signed “FERNER” each piece is also stamped “HANDARBEIT STERLING”.
There isn’t much information out there about this maker but this probably dates to the 1950’s and was crafted in Germany.
All of the pieces are four footed. The Coffee Pot, Tea Pot, and lidded Sugar have a dimensional rose finial which is surrounded by dimensional leaves – SO PRETTY!
There are two ivory colored pieces on the very ornate and sturdy handles.
I was told by the gentleman who inherited this that his
grandmother took very good care of her sterling and stored
everything in velvet and sealed to avoid tarnish.
I believe it to have been cleaned (NOT BY ME) as
I can see some old cleaner in the deeper crevices.

I can’t find any dents or damage or repairs.
The hinges, which do not sit above the handle but at the side, are very tight and secure. Coffee Pot: SIZE: 9-1/2” high by about 11” across approximately
CIRCA: 1950’s

*APOLOGIES FOR MY ERROR IN THIS LISTING. THE TOTAL WEIGHT IS OVER 79 troy ounces AS DESCRIBED ON THE AUCTION PAGE AND NOT THE 71 troy ounces SHOWN IN THE LINE BELOW OUR GALLERY DESCRIPTION. APOLOGIES FOR THIS ERROR.

On Nov-05-09 at 15:55:58 PST, seller added the following information:

Please see the additional photo uploaded on 11/5/2009.
I've placed this set on a top shelf, and today, under very bright light, I found a couple of very shallow and minor dents on the side near bottom of the teapot. Obviously not very noticeable as I completely missed this upon my first close inspection. This is a very easy fix for a jeweler. Please see photo of two small dents.
