Elegant antique French hallmarked sterling silver 12pc shellfish or oyster fork set with raised foliate & acanthus pattern and original fitted storage and/or presentation box! Gorgeous! Relatively simple but as elegant as French sterling flatware is. We've had this pattern in the past but the name of it eludes me, I'll see if I can find it and will add that info if so. All bear the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" within meaning they're in .950 silver (95% pure and higher than the .925 standard for "sterling" silver). All solid sterling silver. The silversmith marks are for Tallois & Mayence, Paris circa earliest 20th century. A simply fabulous set, don't miss them!
Very good condition. Some faint surface scuffs, indicative of age and light use but no breaks or damage or repairs to note. The box is a bit aged with some scuffing here and there but intact and solid and the interior retains its original maroon velvet base and lid silk or satin lining. There is a gilt embossed label in the lid that appears to read "Requier, Horlogerie - Bijouterie, Lisieux". See pictures for all measurements.
Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We're easy to deal with.
Shipping and Handling Policy:
You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you're thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.
We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. is now requiring that our clients rank us on "shipping". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we'll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable has been eliminated as an option by , forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replaceable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!
Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is received (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
