Magnificent antique French sterling silver and vermeil tea and coffee set, Louis XVI style : a samovar with its stove (silver plated), a coffee pot (sterling silver), a tea pot (sterling silver), a sugar pot (sterling silver), a candy bowl (sterling silver), a milk jug (sterling silver) and a tray (silver plated).
The design is perfect and the quality level is obviously a top-of-the-range one : harmonious shape, finely chiseled acanthus, laurels and ribbons.
There is no monogram or coat of arms engraved (except a NA on the tray).
French hallmark Minerva 1st standard is stamped on each sterling silver item. As expected, the set is a work by Boin Taburet, most famous and talented French silversmith ; its mark is stamped on each item as well.
The whole set is in excellent condition : silver is shiny, no distortion. One or three slight depressions on the tray (not very significant, really). Every piece still looks really great.
