Condition
The service is sterling silver, with the exception of the knives which have hollow sterling handles and stainless blades. In overall fine, stable condition. Light surface scuffs and scratches consistent with use and polishing. A few fork tines slightly bent out of alignment. The large cheese knife is of a different but stylistically similar pattern and made by Christofle. Additional images available upon request.
