Fillet, ribbon, and fleur-de-lis motifs, in the "Crossed Ribbons" or "Louis XVI à la Reine" style.
This is one of the most elegant and sought-after styles in French silverware, as it combines the rigor of classicism (the fillets) with the refinement of the 18th century (the knotted ribbons and fleur-de-lis or acanthus leaves).
Hallmarks: 84 grams and Boulenger, for Adolphe Boulenger, a renowned 19th-century silversmith. It features high-quality, very durable silver plating.
