Offered by Emmanuel Redon Silver Fine Art
Silverware and Silversmith of the 19th and 20th centuries
Complete solid silver tea, coffee, and chocolate set, hexagonal in shape with canted sides, typical of the Art Deco style. Each piece rests on a stepped base and features an ogee-shaped lid topped with a wooden knob matching the angular handles. The interior of the milk jug and sugar bowl is gilded.
Beautiful condition, scratches from use, beautiful shine of the silver.
The geometric rigor, the purity of the volumes, and the contrast between the polished silver and the dark wood perfectly illustrate the French Art Deco style of the 1930s. The work of Émile Prost, a silversmith active in Paris, is distinguished by the quality of its execution and the elegant simplicity of its forms, adapted to the modernity of the period.
