A suit of silverware in the neo-Rococo style made at the beginning of the 20th century, in the goldsmith Henri Soufflot's workshop (active between 1884-1910), operating in Paris at 89 rue de Turbigo. The set is made of top quality 950 silver (Minerwa1), decorated with floral motifs, flowing lines intertwining. The cartouches on the bodies are surrounded by rocaille motifs, empty, intended for a monogram or a coat of arms. Heat insulators made of bone. Inside of a sugar bowl and a creamer visible glow of original gilding. The handles of the lids in the form of full-plastic flowers. The silverware is large, presentable. The set comprises a coffee pot height 28,5 cm, a tea pot height 21 cm, width 25 cm, a sugar bowl (19 x 18 cm) and a creamer (13 x 13 cm). Each piece of silver bears the Paris hallmark for sterling silver 950 and the goldsmith's hallmark in the form of HS (Henri Soufflot) written in a rhombus. Weight of the four silver vessels: 2072 grams.
