This antique tea and coffee service is an exceptional gauge of silver, fine quality and in exceptional presentation condition.

The bright cut engraved decoration is all very crisp.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of each piece are all very clear; the maker's marks are not struck as deeply but remain clear.

The part hallmarks to the interior of each cover, and the handles of the teapot and coffee pot are all very clear; the maker's mark to one handle is rubbed.


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these impressive examples of antique teaware.
