French Art Deco Tea & Coffee Service by Roux-Marquiand, Lyon, 1924 – Gold Medal, Paris 1925 Exceptional French Art Deco tea and coffee service designed and produced by Roux-Marquiand (Lyon, France) in 1924, a landmark model awarded the Gold Medal at the Salon des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, 1925. Crafted in silver-plated metal combined with noble woods, this sculptural service perfectly embodies the elegance, modernity, and refined craftsmanship of early French Art Deco. The set is composed of four original pieces, each bearing the Roux-Marquiand stamp. Historically, this model was issued without a tray; the tray presented here has been later added and was carefully selected for its harmonious proportions and aesthetic compatibility with the ensemble. Set Includes (4 original pieces): Teapot: Height 6.3 in (16 cm) – Width 8.7 in (22 cm) Coffee Pot: Height 7.5 in (19 cm) – Width 8.1 in (20.5 cm) Sugar Bowl: Height 5.1 in (13 cm) – Width 5.7 in (14.5 cm) Creamer: Height 3.9 in (10 cm) – Width 5.6 in (14.2 cm) Tray (later addition): Outer Diameter: 18.2 in (46.3 cm) Height: 1.6 in (4 cm) Condition: Service: Excellent condition Tray: Very good condition Marks: Each original piece stamped Roux-Marquiand Origin: Lyon, France – 7 rue Centrale This museum-quality tea and coffee service is a documented example of French decorative arts excellence, directly linked to the 1925 Paris International Exhibition, the defining event of the Art Deco movement. A rare and highly collectible set, ideal for discerning collectors of French Art Deco silver, luxury tableware, and 20th-century design. Founded in 1876 in Lyon by artisans Chapuis and Marquiand, the firm became Roux-Marquiand in 1877 following a family marriage. The company remained family-owned until the 1960s and developed into one of France’s most important silver-plated metal workshops. After World War I, the company—remarkably directed by a widowed woman—maintained a high-level production supported by skilled craftsmen. With up to 100 specialized workers, Roux-Marquiand distinguished itself by focusing exclusively on silverplate, positioning itself as a refined alternative to the dominance of Christofle. All stages of production were carried out in-house, including carving, polishing, silvering, fitting, assembly, and restoration, with burnishing often performed by women artisans. In the early 1920s, Roux-Marquiand achieved major success with Neo-Classical designs, before fully embracing Art Deco. At the 1925 Paris International Exhibition, the firm presented a tea and coffee service—this very model—that received a Gold Medal, confirming its national and international reputation. The company subsequently supplied leading Parisian department stores such as Galeries Lafayette, Le Printemps (Primavera), and Trois Quartiers. Designs were also featured anonymously through La Maîtrise, the Galeries Lafayette design studio led by Maurice Dufrêne. In 1929, Georges Roux...

Direct from Paris, a gorgeous 19th century Louis XVI, 8 pc. 950 sterling silver the / coffee set by one of France's premier silversmiths, Gustave Keller. The set is in like new condition and includes a large sterling silver serving tray and 7 anti-tarnish storage wraps for easy storage - Circa 1890s. The art of silversmithing has long been a hallmark of French craftsmanship, embodying the nation's rich cultural heritage and artistic excellence. Among the luminaries of this venerable tradition, Gustave Keller stands out as a paragon of skill, innovation, and elegance. Active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Keller's work epitomizes the fusion of technical mastery and aesthetic refinement that characterizes the finest French silverware. The Early Years: Gustave Keller was born in the mid-19th century, a period marked by significant social, political, and artistic transformations in France. The aftermath of the French Revolution and the rise of the bourgeoisie created a new market for luxury goods, including silverware. Keller emerged as a prominent figure in this milieu, establishing himself as a master silversmith whose work would grace the tables of royalty and aristocracy. Keller's apprenticed under some of the most esteemed silversmiths in Paris, the epicenter of French silversmithing. By the late 19th century, he had established his own workshop, where he produced a wide range of silver items, from tableware to decorative objects. His work quickly gained recognition for its exceptional quality and artistic merit, earning him a distinguished clientele and numerous accolades. Quality and Craftsmanship: The hallmark of Gustave Keller's work is its unparalleled quality and craftsmanship. Keller was a perfectionist, and his pieces reflect a meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the properties of silver. He worked primarily in 950 sterling silver, a high-grade alloy containing 95% pure silver, which is renowned for its luster, durability, and workability. This choice of material allowed Keller to create pieces that were not only beautiful but also functional and long-lasting. Keller's craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of his work, from the precision of his engraving to the elegance of his designs. He was particularly known for his ability to blend traditional techniques with innovative approaches, resulting in pieces that were both timeless and contemporary. His tea sets, for example, often feature intricate floral motifs, delicate chasing, and finely detailed handles and spouts, all executed with a level of skill that is truly remarkable. One of the most striking aspects of Keller's work is his ability to imbue his pieces with a sense of movement and life. This is particularly evident in his Louis XVI model tea sets, where the curves and lines of the silverware seem to flow seamlessly, creating a harmonious and dynamic composition. The result is a collection of pieces that are not only functional but also works of art in their own right. Royal Patronage: Gustave Keller's reputation for excellence soon attracted the attention of royalty and aristocracy. His work was highly sought after by European nobility, who appreciated the combination of luxury and artistry that his pieces embodied. Among his most notable patrons were members of the French royal family, who commissioned Keller to create bespoke silverware for their palaces and estates. Keller's royal patronage was a testament to his status as one of the leading silversmiths of his time. His ability to cater to the tastes and preferences of his elite clientele, while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship, set him apart from his contemporaries. His work was not only a symbol of wealth and status but also a reflection of the cultural and artistic values of the French aristocracy. One of the most significant commissions Keller received was from the court of Louis XVI. The king, known for his appreciation of fine art and craftsmanship, was particularly fond of Keller's work and commissioned a series of tea sets in the Louis XVI style – like this magnificent set. These sets, which are among Keller's most celebrated creations, exemplify the elegance and sophistication of French silversmithing during this period. Awards and Accolades: Throughout his career, Gustave Keller received numerous awards and accolades, both in France and internationally. His work was regularly exhibited at prestigious events such as the Exposition Universelle in Paris, where it was met with critical acclaim. These exhibitions provided Keller with a platform to showcase his talent and to gain recognition from his peers and the public alike. One of the most significant honors Keller received was the Grand Prix at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. This award, which was the highest accolade at the event, was a testament to Keller's exceptional skill and artistry. It also cemented his reputation as one of the leading silversmiths of his generation. In addition to the Grand Prix, Keller received numerous other awards and medals throughout his career. These included the Gold Medal at the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the Silver Medal at the 1894 Exposition Internationale in Lyon, and the Legion of Honor, one of France's highest civilian awards. These accolades not only recognized Keller's contributions to the field of silversmithing but also highlighted the importance of French craftsmanship on the global stage.
