Bring French refinement to your table with this luxurious 3-piece antique serving set, crafted in French 800 silver with ornate vermeil (gold-washed) serving ends. Two of the pieces are hallmarked with the rooster mark (coq), certifying it as French silver of 800/1000 purity, and bears the maker’s mark of D. Frères “DFres” (Déposé Frères) — a known silversmith working in 19th-century France. Furthermore you will find a tiny hallmark 800 on the collar with a strong loupe.
This opulent set features finely detailed, embossed silver handles in the neoclassical taste, adorned with acanthus leaves, beaded borders, and floral motifs, emblematic of Napoleon III–era or late Louis-Philippe style craftsmanship.
The set includes:
• A vermeil shell-form serving spoon – perfect for sauces, compotes, or preserves
• A vermeil four-tine serving fork – ideal for charcuterie, cold meats, or salad service
• A vermeil fish or pastry server – with an elaborately shaped blade for cakes or fish fillets
Hallmarks:
• French rooster guarantee mark for 800 silver
• Silversmith’s mark: D. Frères
