Louis XVI style silver tea and coffee service

This French silver tea and coffee service is designed in the elegant Louis XVI style. The service is comprised of seven pieces, including a tea fountain, a coffee maker, a chocolatier, a teapot, a milk jug, a sugar bowl, and an additional bowl. The bodies of the pieces feature gentle gadroon-like mouldings, while silver pearls accent the feet and lids throughout. Four of the pieces feature ebonised wood handles and taps, while the milk jug includes an ivory handle. The design is refined and elegant, allowing this service to function in any environment.

The pieces are stamped with the standard Minerva punch as well as indistinct makers’ marks.
