Silver & Silver Plate

About

Antique and vintage silver and silverplate bring a particular kind of material refinement to the table and the interior, where the quality of the metal, the precision of the forming, and the decorative ambition of each period are immediately apparent to anyone who handles them. The collection draws from the great periods of European silversmithing and electroplate production, when decorative ambition and technical precision were applied to objects intended for both daily use and formal entertaining. Art Nouveau knife rests by Christofle with daisy motifs and an Art Deco cocktail shaker demonstrate the range of forms that silver production accommodated across successive stylistic movements. A liqueur set with ruby glass decanters and a hammered serving tray reflect the Edwardian appetite for complete and considered table services, while gilt silver fruit spoons with apostle finials bring an earlier and more formal decorative register. Mid-century boule knife rests offer a quieter, more restrained counterpoint to the more ornate pieces. These pieces work naturally on dining room tables and sideboards, where they contribute both function and visual weight to a considered table setting. They pair well with antique French stemware and antique French flatware for a complete and coherent entertaining arrangement. Each piece is precisely measured, clearly documented, and professionally photographed, with condition carefully noted. Stock is updated in real time, and all items ship directly from France, professionally packed for safe international delivery. Silver of this age and quality rewards regular use far more than display alone.
