4 PC STERLING SILVER REED & BARTON LES CINQ FLEURS DEMITASSE COFFEE SET RARE!

Description

Offered is a VERY RARE 4 PIECE STERLING SILVER DEMITASSE COFFEE SET made by REED & BARTON in the beautiful LES CINQ FLEURS pattern patented in 1900. Beautiful ART NOUVEAU design, very similar to Gorham's MARTELE pattern. The set is really rare since there is a matching tray as well as the three pieces usually seen in a set, but rarely with the tray. The set features beautiful repousse poppies on all pieces and on the border of the tray. The coffee pot is 9 inches tall, weighs 524 grams. The sugar  is 4 inches tall and 6 inches across the handles, and weighs 203 grams. The creamer is 4 1/2 inches tall and weighs 163 grams. The tray measures 11 inches in diameter and weighs572 grams. Total weight of the set is 1462 grams or 47.2 troy ounces. A really substantial set! All pieces are monogrammed with an ornate period script and the date, 1907. I cannot make out the initials of the monogram. All pieces are marked with old Reed & Barton trademark and 268C,  the pattern number. Condition is really excellent, no issues to speak of, no scratches, dents. Very little, if any wear to the floral repousse work. The insulators are intact, with some cracking due to age and dryness, but they are very firmly in place. Great patina. This is a really rare set, I have never seen a complete set with the original tray! Guaranteed to be as described or full refund. Thanks for looking.
