Art deco pie server in openwork silver metal - goldsmith armand frenais 1910-1920

This beautiful art deco pie server is made of silver metal. The handle and the shovel are elegant and sober: the handle is decorated with a stepped border and the shovel is openwork with geometric shapes. This shovel is hallmarked "af ancre" for the french goldsmith armand frenais (1877-1927). It measures 29 cm long X 6.5 cm wide. I point out scratches from use, traces of oxidation and deformation. A crack is visible in the handle and the shovel is not quite aligned.
