(lot of 44) French silverplate flatware service, Alain Saint-Joanis, in the "Berlin" pattern, from the Prestige Collection, including: (8) table knives, approx 10"l; (6) butter spreaders, approx 6 1/8"l; (8) table forks, approx 8.5"l; (6) dessert forks, approx 8 1/8"l; (8) dessert spoons, approx 8"l; (8) teaspoons, approx 6 3/8"l; 13.5lbs total (for shipping purposes only)

9.25.25 - In my opinion regarding LOT: 1026—the set is overall intact, exhibiting typical light signs of wear and use, one knife shows a small dent near the tip as pictured, surfaces display general rubbing and light scratches consistent with handling, the set is fairly tarnished and while I note the possibility of minor plate loss in isolated areas, including one fork at the tines, and one handle, no excessive wear to the visible plate is observed, overall the set remains intact and serviceable, with minor wear commensurate with vintage age and use
