Ménagère Christofle Perles - 113 pieces

Set of cutlery produced by the christofle goldsmith. They are made of silver metal with a bead pattern on the border. Made by christofle (punch oc and rider) for the kirby beard & co store (hence the punch on the handle of the cutlery), located at 5 rue auber in paris. This department store had been selling luxury home goods since 1745. It closed in 1970. This set is therefore at least 50 years old. It is in very good condition but has the usual scratches. Blades in very good condition (stainless steel) and sharp. Close-up photos of large forks, some of which have a tiny silvering on the end of a few claws (only on the back side. The front is impeccable). Enlarge the photos to see because it is not very visible. The pearls model is a classic of the christofle house. It is still edited. This housewife includes: 12 broad ranges. 12 large spoons. 10 large knives. 11 forks to entremet. 11 teaspoons. 12 dessert knives. 12 fish forks. 12 fish knives. 12 oyster forks. 1 pair of cutlery to serve the meat. 1 pair of cutlery to serve the fish. 1 ladle. 1 large fork to serve. 1 spoon to serve the sauce. 1 pie shovel. 1 sugar tong.
