This beautiful Neoclassical style French service includes seven pieces: a large and elegant tea fountain, a coffee press, a chocolatier, a beautiful tea pot, and a jug for milk and two smaller bowls. The silver throughout is superbly shaped, while the handles—of ebonised wood and ivory—accent in colour the glistening silver. The pieces feature the French Minerva mark as well as marks for several makers.
