Silver Plated Dinner Cutlery Set - 18-piece/6-pax. Maison Tilquin - Antwerp, 1950-1965

Beautiful heavily silver-plated flatware set for the main course, made between 1950-1965 by the Maison Tilquin of Antwerp. These heavily silver-plated cutlery pieces are silver plated on a 100 gram basis, and decorated in the Rococo style, with Rocaille, C and S shapes typical of the 18th century. The whole consists of eighteen pieces and is suitable for six table guests: 

- 6 dinner spoons (21cm)
- 6 dinner knives (25cm)
 - 6 dinner forks (21cm)

The cutlery is in excellent condition. There are very few traces of past use. Please view the photos for an impression. 

All pieces marked on the back with [Blanco][100][Maker's marks]

The "Blanco" product line was the silver-plated product line of cutlery produced and sold by the Belgian house Tilquin during the 20th century. The company had its head office on the Meir in Antwerp (in a famous Art Deco building, designed by Joseph Selis) and branches in Ghent, Liège, Brussels and Ostend. The building still stands on the Meir, although its original host has sadly dissapeared.
