Elegant antique French hallmarked sterling silver 4pc hors d'oeuvre or condiment serving implement set with floral garland and bow & ribbon accented medallions sans monograms, original fitted box and all in wonderful condition! A beautiful set, don't you think! Four pieces consisting of a knife shaped piece with pre-stainless steel blade, fork and reticulated spoon & spatula. All bear the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "2" within those marks designate them as being in .800 or finer pure silver (at least 80% pure so just below the .925 standard for sterling silver). The silversmith marks are for Charles-Alfred Coignet, Paris circa 1865-1889. A wonderful set, one you'll love to get out and use at every occasion.
Very good condition. Some faint surface scuffs indicative of light use. No bends, breaks or repairs to any. There is a bit of dark tarnish or corrosion on the knife's steel blade. See pictures for weights and measurements.
