Description:
This is a substantial silver-plated flatware service presented in a hardwood storage chest lined with Pacific Silvercloth anti-tarnish fabric, as indicated by the 'Pacific Silvercloth - Prevents Tarnish' label visible on the chest interior. The pattern features an ornate Baroque or Rococo-style floral and scroll design on the handles, consistent with popular mid-20th century silverplate patterns such as those produced by Rogers, Community, or similar American silverplate manufacturers from the 1950s-1970s. The set is exceptionally large, comprising an estimated 80 or more pieces including dinner knives, dinner forks, salad forks, teaspoons, tablespoons, soup spoons, a gravy ladle, and numerous serving pieces. The lower drawer of the chest contains additional serving pieces including a decorated cake/pie server with engraved floral motifs, large serving spoons, a cold meat fork, and what appears to be additional specialty pieces from a potentially different but complementary pattern. The hardwood chest itself features a brass-toned drawer pull and appears to be in very good structural condition with functioning hinges and drawer. Condition is rated Very Good overall — the flatware displays bright silver luster with minimal tarnishing, suggesting the Pacific Silvercloth chest has done its job well; some pieces in the lower drawer show light surface tarnish and minor scratching consistent with use and storage; the chest exterior shows light wear to finish edges. This is an excellent opportunity for a Colorado estate buyer seeking a complete formal dining service or a collector looking to expand a silverplate serving collection.
