Silver Plated Cutlery Canteen - Baguette - 61-piece/12-pax. - Orfevrerie Boulenger - France, 1898-1938

Beautiful antique French silver-plated flatware set by Orfèvrerie Boulenger, dating from approximately 1898–1938. The pattern is known in France as “Baguette,” named for its simple, elongated form.

The smooth, undecorated handles are understated and elegant, allowing the beautiful proportions of the pieces to speak for themselves. Their timeless design makes them suitable for both a classic formal table and a more contemporary setting.

The flatware comes complete in its original blue presentation case, featuring a hinged lid and fitted interior tray. The Boulenger maker’s logo is present on the inside of the lid.

The set includes:
12 dinner spoons — 21 cm / 8.27 in
12 dinner knives — 25 cm / 9.84 in
12 dinner forks — 21 cm / 8.27 in
12 luncheon / breakfast knives — 21.2 cm / 8.35 in
12 coffee spoons — 14.3 cm / 5.63 in*
1 large serving spoon

* Two of the coffee spoons are by Orfèvrerie Apollo and feature a different cross-band pattern.

The dinner forks, dinner spoons and ladle are engraved with the initials “C.R.” on the reverse of the handles.

All pieces are in excellent  condition, with only minor surface scratches consistent with age and careful use.
