Stunning & rare antique French 18k gold on sterling silver vermeil flatware ensemble, a highly rare pattern with caduceus serpents & cornucopia, medallions sans monograms, gilded & stainless steel knife blades and all in fabulous condition! Somewhat of a collection that weve put together since theyre in the same pattern. The set consists of six dessert or fruit forks, four fruit or dessert knives with vermeil blades, two luncheon or entremet sized and two full dinner sized knives with stainless blades and two huge dinner sized forks.

All bear the post-1878 French Minerve or Minerva hallmarks, the tiny number 1 within those marks means theyre in. 950 silver under the thick gold plating 95% pure silver, higher than the.

925 standard for sterling silver. Silversmith marks are for Henin & Cie. The blades of the vermeil knives are also marked Racine, Marseille. Ill see if I can go back through our records to find the pattern name, a rare one though. Very good to excellent condition. A bit of tarnish visible near tops of handles where they meet the blades on a few. Im pretty certain that the stainless steel blades are a newer restoration/improvement as they surely wouldve had the pre-stainless blades originally from their age. A tiny bend to a dessert fork tine or two. We're easy to deal with. Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important!
