Magnificent antique French sterling silver coffee set, Louis XVI style, composed of a coffee pot, a tea pot, a sugar pot and a milk jug.

Harmonious shaped set, perfect proportions. Finely chiseled with a Louis XVI style decoration (laurels, acanthus, ribbons). Vermeil inside the sugar pot. The design is perfect and the quality level is obviously a top-of-the-range one. A monogram is engraved on each piece.

French hallmark Minerva 1st standard is stamped on each item. As expected, the set is a work by Puiforcat, most famous and talented French silversmith ; its mark is stamped on each item as well.

The whole set is in very good condition. Slight hollow and distortion on the sugar pot's lid.
