{"product_id":"faberge-silver-flatware-service-for-24","title":"Fabergé Silver Flatware Service for 24","description":"Fabergé silver is regarded as the highest form of Continental silver in terms of artistry and opulence. This rare 197-piece parcel-gilt silver flatware service for 24 was produced by the firm’s legendary workshop in Moscow, a city long considered the epicenter of Russian silver and goldsmithing. This service features an elegant neoclassical motif with a beaded border and gold gilt accents, displaying an understated opulence that makes it one of the finest sets of silver ever created by Fabergé’s master artisans. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fabergé silver was produced in the Moscow and St. Petersburg workshops, with the most spectacular designs created specifically for the Czar. A substantial amount of the firm’s works, including court and presentation pieces, were melted down to mint silver ingots and rubles during the political unrest that plagued Russia during the Revolution. What remains today are primarily objects of function that found their way to the West, making a complete flatware service a truly precious find. Surviving pieces of Fabergé silver are increasingly scarce, found only in the most elite museum and private collections. The few examples in existence today represent the epitome of the Russian decorative arts.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This set is housed in its custom-fitted oak chest.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each utensil is stamped “K.
