Wonderful and complete 12 setting silver cutlery service in the classic French, La Regence pattern, made in 1st Standard silver at the turn of the 20th century. Émile Puiforcat was a specialist in making silver flatware and cutlery. French first standard refers to the silver content in the pieces - 950 parts silver per 1000 versus sterling silver which is 925/1000.
The La Regence design was introduced in France during the time of Napoleon II. The flowing leaf pattern, shell and scroll edging are typical of the designs from this period and the flared handles on the spoons and forks perfectly reflect the continental patterns of the 19th century.
