Antique 3-Piece Hallmarked Silver Flatware Set

This set consists of three pieces of silver flatware: two forks and one spoon, presented in a vintage two-piece cardboard box. The leftmost fork features a decorative flared handle with an etched or stamped scroll-like motif at the base, indicative of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The other two pieces—a fork and a spoon—display a more restrained, streamlined Art Deco or mid-century aesthetic with flat, rectangular-ended handles. Constructed from what is described as hallmarked silver, the items exhibit a bright metallic luster with visible surface oxidation and tarnish, particularly on the bowl of the spoon and the tines of the forks. The tarnish appears as dark, irregular patches, a natural patina characteristic of authentic silver. The set shows signs of moderate use, including fine surface scratches and scuffing throughout. The original presentation box features a cream-colored interior lining with cardboard dividers to secure the stems. The exterior of the box shows a white-and-silver patterned border. Based on the mixed styles, this may be a composite set or a transitional period set from the early to mid-1900s. The items appear sturdy and well-formed, reflecting high-quality production standards typical of hallmarked sterling or fine continental silver.
