Absolutely gorgeous antique Continental .800 or nearly sterling silver 21pc ice cream or dessert set including 18pc spoons, serving spoon with gold washed or vermeil bowls and matching larger serving spoon & ladle! All pieces with a beautifully ornate rococo style spiral fluted pattern, sinuous foliate framed \"RP\" monogram medallions and 1894 - 1895 dates! I found this set on my last trip to Las Vegas. Sadly, it seems like the antique market in Vegas has virtually disappeared but fortunately I did find these and had to have them. Found in the original fitted storage and/or presentation case or box, huge at 19\", and tucked inside were two old appraisal reports (one dated 1981 valuing the set at $800 and the other dated 2012 valuing them at $2180.00). Not a bad investment if you ask me. Finding treasures is one of the best parts of the antique business BUT, thinking of them as the investments they are is not something that most people spend too much time pondering. Antiques ARE wise investments, rare to find in todays fluctuating markets ;). Not to mention that you also get to enjoy these one-of-a-kind works of art as they increase in value. A win win but I digress. A truly gorgeous set here, not quite at the .925 standard for \"sterling\" silver but solid silver nonetheless and more comprehensive than most collections. Very French in style and appearance, too. The hallmarks are for M.J. Ruckert, Mainz circa 1890s. Beautiful and ready to impress! Very good condition. Some slight wear or fading to the vermeil bowls but nothing major, basically just as you see them. The box was in poor shape when I found the set but I re-glued a few side panels and went over it with black leather dye so it is far more presentable now. A lovely set at a heck of a price! See pictures for all weights and measurements.

Shipping and Handling Policy:

You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you\'re thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.

We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. is now requiring that our clients rank us on \"shipping\". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we\'ll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.

Insurance has been eliminated as an option by , forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replacable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!

Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is recieved (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
