It consists of several pieces - two teapots (for tea and coffee), a sugar bowl, a milk jug and a decorative tray. Design and execution: The set is made of silver-plated brass or alpaca, with a rich plastic decor typical of Art Nouveau. Motifs of geometric lines, stylized ornaments and elegant forms give the set a luxurious look. The handles and lid handles are decorated with architectural motifs, which gives the set a unique character. Marking and monogram: Some pieces have the monogram "CM", which may refer to the original owner or customer of this set. The tray bears Danish marks with the designation "DENMARK". Internal gilding: The sugar bowl and other containers have preserved internal gilding, which not only protected the metal from reacting with the contents, but also gave the set a luxurious look. Condition: The set shows signs of use and a natural patina that underlines its historical value. Slight wear of the silver plating and light oxidation are common in similar antique pieces. Overall, this is a rare and elegant tea and coffee set that can be a beautiful addition to your interior or a valuable collector's item.
