Antique Baroque 12-Piece Sterling Silver Dinner Fork & Knife Set by Schleissner & Söhne with Buchholz & Zelt

Crafted in Germany by the esteemed atelier of Schleissner & Söhne in the late 19th to early 20th century and imported to New York by Buchholz & Zelt, this six‑place Antique Baroque dinner service is fashioned from .925‑pure sterling silver and professionally polished to a brilliant sheen. Its handles are richly chased in exuberant Baroque fashion—with swirling acanthus leaves, scallop shell cartouches and frolicsome cherubic figures dancing amid the relief—and each bears the distinctive pseudo‑hallmarks of Hanau, Germany, a testament to the period’s homage to that great silversmithing center. The weight, impeccable balance, and gleaming finish speak to the masterful precision of German craftsmanship, making this ensemble equally suited to a grand banquet or as a striking display of heirloom artistry.
