Direct from Paris, an amazing 165pc., privately commissioned, sterling silver flatware set by one of France’s premier silversmiths “Tetard Freres”. Include a magnificent Louis XVI, 5-drawer lockable storage cabinet and 17 serving pieces and Mother-of-Pearl handles dessert knives. The history of French silversmithing is replete with illustrious names, each contributing to the nation's reputation for exceptional silver craftsmanship. Among them, the firm “Tetard Frères” stands as one of the most prominent and revered. Founded in the late 19th century, Tetard Frères has built a legacy on the strength of its unparalleled craftsmanship, exquisite design, and sterling silver products of the highest caliber. From royal patronage to numerous international awards and accolades, the firm has become synonymous with luxury, elegance, and durability. Their flatware sets, made of 950 sterling silver, like this amazing 165pc. set, are masterpieces that continue to captivate connoisseurs and collectors alike. The Tetard Frères firm was founded in Paris in 1880 by Edmond Tetard, a master silversmith whose eye for detail and passion for innovation laid the groundwork for the company’s subsequent rise to prominence. Edmond Tetard's background as a skilled craftsman informed every aspect of his work, and his commitment to quality soon attracted clients from the upper echelons of society. Tetard Frères were known for pushing the boundaries of traditional silversmithing. Their craftsmanship blended meticulous hand-engraving, chasing, and repoussé techniques with a modern aesthetic sensibility. The brothers perfected the art of creating seamless transitions between functionality and beauty, particularly in their silver flatware, tableware, and decorative pieces. Few silversmiths can boast the level of royal and aristocratic patronage that Tetard Frères enjoyed. Their reputation for exceptional craftsmanship earned them commissions from European royal courts, including the French aristocracy, making their works a staple at grand banquets, diplomatic functions, and royal households. The royal court of France was particularly fond of Tetard Frères' creations. Their silverware and table settings were often used in royal residences, including the Palais de l'Élysée, which served as the residence of the President of the French Republic. Additionally, Tetard Frères received commissions from international royalty, including the kings and queens of Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands. Such patronage not only bolstered the firm's reputation but also further solidified its status as the premier silversmith of choice for the elite. Tetard Frères' pieces were often customized to meet the specific requirements of their royal clients. These bespoke commissions included personalized monograms, coats of arms, and other emblems of nobility. By working closely with their aristocratic patrons, Tetard Frères ensured that each piece reflected the tastes and desires of their distinguished clientele. This bespoke approach to silversmithing added another layer of exclusivity to their work, making each item not just a work of art but also a symbol of personal identity and status. Perhaps one of the most iconic commissions was the creation of a silver flatware sets for the French government to gift to foreign dignitaries. These sets, often bearing intricate engravings or repoussé work, were designed to showcase the best of French artistry while simultaneously serving a practical purpose. The silverware produced for these occasions represented more than just luxury—it was a diplomatic tool, symbolizing France’s grandeur and cultural heritage. Tetard Frères' exceptional work did not go unnoticed on the international stage. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they participated in several international exhibitions, where their craftsmanship was celebrated and rewarded. The firm's pieces were often displayed in prominent venues such as the Exposition Universelle (World’s Fair) in Paris, where they received numerous accolades for innovation, artistry, and technical skill. At the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle, Tetard Frères earned a gold medal for their outstanding work in silver. This recognition further solidified their place among the most prestigious silversmiths of the era. The firm's pieces on display included elaborate flatware sets, decorative vases, and intricate centerpieces, all of which showcased their ability to combine traditional French design with modern influences. Perhaps the most iconic and enduring product of Tetard Frères' silversmithing is their 950 sterling silver flatware sets. These sets, like this stunning 165pc. set, represent the pinnacle of luxury, combining the finest materials with expert craftsmanship to create objects of both beauty and functionality. Tetard Frères’ flatware...

A rare pair of Kyoto-Nagasaki style lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlaid knife urns Edo period, early 19th century Measures: Height 71 x diameter 30 cm ?Formed as urns with vertically lifting covers and elongated finials, revealing fitted green velvet lined interiors for knives, decorated overall with birds, flowering stems, faux-fluting and oval panels with landscapes. The square plinth is raised on four bracket feet. Inside the lifting cover of one of the urns are Japanese characters, supposedly indications of some code by the craftsman. A closely related knife urn, now in the collection of the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem (inv. E 73115), was acquired in Nagasaki by Captain Samuel Gardner Derby of the Margareth of Salem in 1801. Captain Gardner Derby traded in Nagasaki under charter from the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), the Dutch East India Company. Between 1797 and 1814 Holland was occupied by the French and from 1811 until 1816 Java by the English. During these periods practically no Dutch shipping was possible between Holland and Batavia (Jakarta) or between Batavia (Jakarta) and Nagasaki. To maintain a minimum amount of shipping between Batavia (Jakarta) and Nagasaki, between 1797 and 1807, the VOC chartered mainly American ships. American captains and officers ordered and bought mainly lacquered furniture in an American-English style, completely different from what the Dutch up till then had ordered. The present knife urns were possibly also ordered and acquired by Captain Gardner Derby during his stay in Deshima/Nagasaki in 1801. Another similarly neoclassical shaped knife urn in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum Oxford (inv. 1996.17) appears to be signed by woodworker Kiyotomo koreo tsukuru (Kiyomoto made this). The same name, together with an address in the Sanjo-Teramachi District of Kyoto, has been found inside a fragmentary urn in a private collection. This is an indication that European-style furniture was not only lacquered in Japan but made there as well. This undoubtedly is not only true for knife-urns, but all European- style furniture lacquered in Japan after circa 1800 was made by Japanese furniture makers...
