Elegant antique French hallmarked sterling silver handled 3pc condiment or hors d'oeuvres serving implement set, Empire style with laurel garland accented pattern and bow & ribbon topped flower filled basket! One of three sets that we're adding today, this one with hallmarked sterling silver handles and silver plated blades, bowls, etc. The handles bear the French Minerve or Minerva hallmarks, the tiny number "1" within those marks means they're in .950 silver (95% pure and so above the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). There are silversmith marks on the blades, etc. of "P.F." but I've not found reference for them as of listing. A lovely set!
Very good condition. A bit of age tarnish on the silver-plated portions but, as you can see, all three pieces are in great shape given their 100+ years. See images for all weights and measurements.
