International Sterling Valenica Silver Flatware 63pcs 12 settings Original owner

  

THIS CLASSIC INTERNATIONAL STERLING SILVER FLATWARE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE 63 PIECES INCLUDES 12 FIVE PIECE SETTINGS AND THREE SERVING PIECES AS FOLLOWS.

AND ONE REGULAR SERVING SPOON, ONE SLOTTED SERVING SPOON AND A SUGAR SPOON. EACH PIECE WAS CAREFULLY HAND POLISHED FOR THIS LISTING. THE SET WAS INTRODUCED IN 1965 AND DISCONTINUED IN 1996. THE ORIGINAL SALES BROCHURE (WHICH WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED) NOTES THIS PATTERN AS BEING " TEXTURED WITH LAVISH EMBROIDERED BEAUTY".

THE PHOTOS SHOW THE EXTREME LEVEL OF DETAILED FLOWERS AND LEAVES WHICH ARE ENHANCED BY THE DEEP ETCHING OF THE PATTERN ON EACH PIECE. IT IS LINED WITH THE TARNISH PREVENT CLOTH WHICH IS CLEAN AND STAIN FREE. THERE IS A TARNISH CLOTH LINED DRAWER AT THE BOTTOM FOR ADDITIONAL PIECES (BUTTER KNIVES, MEAT FORKS, PIE SERVERS, ETC).

THE CHEST IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT DOES HAVE ONE REPAIR IN THE BACK, WHERE A MISHAP WHEN THE CHEST WAS EMPTY CREATED A SPLINTER IN THE WOOD. IT WAS IMMEDIATLELY REPAIRED AND HOLDS PERFECTLY WITH NO EFFECT ON THE LID, DRAWERS OR STORAGE AREA. THE CHEST ALSO HAS BRASS HANDLES AND HARDWARE AND A BRASS PLATE WHICH WAS NEVER ENGRAVED.

IT COULD BE REMOVED, POLISHED AND MONOGRAMMED. THIS SET HAS NEVER BEEN STORED ANYWHERE BUT IN THE SMOKE AND PET FREE HOME OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IT WOULD BE A CLASSY AND CLASSIC ADDITON TO YOUR TABLE, OR PERHAPS AS A GIFT FOR YOUR CHILD OR GRANDCHILD. AS THE BROCHURE STATES, STERLING " LASTS FOREVER" AND OFTEN BECOMES A " TREASURED FAMILY TRADITION".

THIS SET IS A TIMELESS TRIBUTE TO THE BEAUTY OF STERLING. STERLING SILVER NEVER WEARS OUT AND NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE.
