Art Deco Number 1925 Christofle Silverplate and Ebonized Wood Tea Set

  
This is a beautiful Number 1925 Christofle Silverplate and Ebonized Wood Tea Set. It was originally designed in 1933 by renowned Danish Art Deco Silversmith, Christian Fjerdingstad for Christofle France and was used as a tea service for first-class patrons on the Art Deco Normandie Luxury Liner.

The original design was re-styled and these updated silverplated versions were produced in a limited edition by Christofle in the early 1990s. It is in the original Green Christofle box but movers decided to tape the exterior of the box closed and the box exterior is also damaged from being moved and stored for decades. There is a small slip of paper with original care instructions in the box.

It is in very good condition overall but has very light surface scratching from normal cleaning. The top of the tray has a small ½ inch indention that was caused by an earthquake in Los Angeles.

The silverplate is in excellent condition. Otherwise, it is wear-consistent with cleaning and display of the tea set.

It has never been used to serve food or beverages. The set includes the tray, teapot with lid, creamer, and sugar with lid. The large serving tray is approximately 20 inches by 14.5 inches by 2.5 inches tall. The teapot is 8 inches wide by 7.25 inches tall by 2.6 inches deep. The covered sugar is 4 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall by 2 inches deep.

The creamer is 6 inches wide by 4.25 inches tall by 2 inches deep. The bud vase, accessories, and teacup are shown in the photos as props but not included.
