Boxed Pair: French Sterling Silver Dessert Server & Sugar Sifter Set

Silver : Antique : Sterling, Silver

 

An antique 19th century French sterling silver & vermeil dessert set, beautifully decorated in floral sprigs surrounded by ribbon and rocailles, the handles of which are monogrammed with initials KD. The set consists of a reticulated sugar sifter and dessert server duo, finely housed in their original cream-colored satin lined presentation box.

The set is complete, in the box, and in very good condition (there are a couple of scratches to the large server). Wear to the box commensurate with age. Hallmarked with the French Minerva 1st standard for .950/1000 silver. Maker's mark appear to be that of Parisian silversmith Fernand Gilbert (circa 1883) of 3 rue des Longues-Raies.

Please see photos for measurements.
