Antique French Empire 4 Piece Tea Coffee Service 1470 GramsAntiques:Silver, Sterling Utterly charming French Empire tea and coffee service dating from 1878-1891. Lids and bottoms are fluted, exquisite garlands drape the upper body of each piece, festooned with flowing bows and ribbons. All pieces rest on legs tipped with hoofs, and the legs are attached to the main body with acanthus leafs. Handles on the coffee, tea and cream are ebony. The inside of the sugar is washed with gold. Finials look like blackberries waiting to be plucked. The coffee pot is shaped like a chocolate pot, with the handle extending at nearly a right angle from the pot. The spout on the tea pot is brilliantly decorated with a chased foliate motif. The spout on the coffee pot is draped with a foliate garland and has a bell flower base. Quite a nice set, very ornamental, all in the highest French sterling standard: .950/1000 parts silver. Condition is very good. There is a slight depression on one side of tea pot. There is a flake on the ebony handle of the coffee pot, very old as the edges are smooth and the color matches perfectly. Finally, the finials are slightly tipsy. I imagine this is a very easy repair and I may well get it tended to myself the next time I stop over at my silversmith's shop. Please see photos for dimensions and marks.
