About the Item

Keller 8pc. Tea Set – Description Direct from Paris, A Gorgeous 19th Century Louis XVI, 8 pc. 950 Sterling Silver Tea / Coffee Set by one of France's Premier Silversmiths, Gustave Keller, Includes a Large Sterling Silver Serving Tray and 7 Anti-Tarnish Storage Wraps for Easy Storage - Circa 1890s. Gustave Keller, a prominent figure in the world of French silver-smithing, left an indelible mark on the art of crafting exquisite silverware during the 19th century. His unique artistic vision, technical prowess, and commitment to innovation set him apart as a master of his craft. Gustave Keller was born on March 20, 1816, in Paris, France. He began his apprenticeship at a young age, as was customary for aspiring craftsmen of his time. Keller was fortunate to be mentored by some of the finest silversmiths in Paris, where he honed his skills and learned the intricacies of the trade. As Keller's skill and reputation grew, he opened his own workshop in Paris in the early 1840s. This marked the beginning of a remarkable career that would span several decades and earn him recognition and accolades from both the art world and the French elite. Keller's reputation for exquisite craftsmanship and innovative techniques attracted the attention of aristocrats, nobility, and wealthy collectors across Europe. His clientele included members of the French royal family, foreign royalty, and the upper echelons of society. One of his most celebrated creations was a set of ornate silver tableware made for Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie. Another remarkable commission that reflected Keller's innovative approach was a pair of ornate candelabra created for Queen Victoria. These candelabra incorporated the plique-à-jour technique and featured delicate floral designs that caught the light beautifully. Keller's work for Queen Victoria was not only a testament to his international acclaim but also a symbol of the strong cultural ties between France and Britain during the 19th century. Keller's commitment to quality and his mastery of traditional craftsmanship techniques served as a model for future generations of silversmiths. His influence can be seen in the works of renowned silversmiths and jewelers such as René Lalique, Émile Gallé, and Louis Comfort Tiffany. These artists incorporated innovative approaches to materials and techniques while remaining true to Keller's emphasis on beauty, precision, and creativity; exemplified in this amazing 8-piece 950 sterling silver tea set.
