Ernest PROST, Tea, coffee and chocolate service in solid silver – ART DECO circa 1930

Complete tea, coffee, and chocolate service in solid silver, hexagonal in shape with canted sides, typical of the Art Deco style. Each piece rests on a stepped base and features an ogee-shaped lid topped with a wooden knob matching the angular handles. The interior of the milk jug and sugar bowl is gilded.

Beautiful condition, scratches from use, beautiful shine of the silver.

The geometric rigor, the purity of the volumes and the contrast between the polished silver and the dark wood perfectly illustrate the French Art Deco taste of the 1930s. The work of Ernest Prost, a goldsmith active in Paris, is distinguished by the quality of execution and the elegant sobriety of the forms, adapted to the modernity of the time.
