A Lovely Antique French Silver and Vermeil salad serving implement by ‘Maître Orfèvre’ Pierre Queillé.
The bowl and tines are gold (18 carat) plated silver, while the handles are in silver.
That detail makes them rather rare; as usually salad service sets had either carved horn or ivory tines and bowl.
The handles are beautifully worked in a neo gothic style with a delicately twisted middle part and a floral scroll at the beginning of the bowl and tines.
The end of the silver handles showcases a lovely seashell design which is found also higher up on the handle.
All is all, a lovely piece very different then what we are used to seeing around!
Set in their original presentation box, they are in great condition!
The width given above is taken at largest part of the handle
The Hallmark is Minerve 1 -1st title – Hence 1838 to 1919 – Paris
