Charles Halphen / Manufacture de l'Alfenide - Caja de cubiertos chapada en plata antigua - 67 piezas - Chapado en plata

This rare cutlery case was made approx. 130 years ago by the Vve company. (Widow) Charles Halphen, one of the original 19th century business partners of the famous Christofle company. The case and its contents can be dated to circa 1890. In model 'Baguette', a classic French model which resembles 'Hollands Glad'.

Consisting of:

- 18 dinner spoons
- 23 dinner forks-
- 10 breakfast forks
- 11 tea spoons

- 1 cake server
- Salad servers (fork + spoon)
- Serving spoon *

The cutlery parts are still in good condition for their age. They show scratches due to use, but no damage.

All parts are marked [ALFENIDE][Goat's head in combination with 84][HALPHEN]
The teaspoons are marked [ALFENIDE][Goat's head in combination with C-H][HALPHEN]
* The serving spoon was made by WMF. This features the WMF maker's mark from before the 20th century. Because I believe that this was added in that period as well, I have decided to leave this in with the set.

This lot will be packaged with care and sent registered post via parcel post, including Track & Trace.
