Set of FIVE Paye and Baker figural Art Nouveau floral pieces, solid sterling silver in the popular poppy pattern, not frequently seen in sets. 5 5/8 inch Slotted Bon Bon / Nut spoon or sifter. 7 1/8 long slotted olive spoon or cocktail stirrer. 6 3/4 master butter knife spreader. 5 3/4 lunch fork. 7 1/2 long three prong lettuce or cocktail fork. NO MONOGRAMS ANYWHERE ON ANY OF THE PIECES! This pattern dates to 1908. Nice quality and life-like detail to this pattern. Beautiful floral art nouveau detail on both sides, front and back of all five of the matching poppy handles. Figural floral bowl on the two spoons and high relief detail on the blade of the knife. Like little works of art! Measurements per piece are above. Set weighs a combined 118 Grams. The set has no dings or bends, and most have very little surface wear. There is some linear scratching on the blade of the knife and a few utensil scratches on the fork tines. There are some very stubborn tarnish spots in the low relief areas of the knife handle. You can see it in the third photo if you zoom on the handle of the piece furthest to the left. A few scuffs on the back where the pieces meet the table. Surface wear and scratching from use and polish through the years, more notable in the areas with mirrored finish. I don’t see any damage to the designs but I tried to show a lot of close ups in photos. Varying degrees of patina in the background of the flowers to make the high relief details really stand out, they will likely become uniform in patina with time and polishing. All Marked with the Paye & Baker hallmark and “Sterling”. Would be awesome for tea or dessert service or a home bar!
