Electroplated nickel silver, commonly known as "EPNS". Is an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc.
That's covered with a layer of pure silver in an electrochemical process. I came across information that neck between the handle. And the knife is Sterling. The case does show some storage wear. Flatware with elegant age patina.This really is a beautiful set. I'm not sure the pictures do it justice. This set dates to the early 1900s and has been safely stored in the case. Ideal for collectors of antique silverware, this set is perfect for those.
Who appreciate the timeless elegance of Art Deco style.
