Western Europe, France, ca. late 20th to 21st century CE. This collection features 69 pieces of sterling silver-plated flatware and cutlery from the renowned French Chambly Arlequin Silver Tableware, a perfect addition for collectors and those seeking quality craftsmanship. The plating is 33 microns, a relatively thick and durable coating designed to ensure a long-lasting finish that resists wear and tarnish over time. This level of plating is considered high-quality, especially compared to thinner coatings, and is commonly found in premium cutlery.
