PUIFORCAT very nice 19 th C French Antique Sterling Silver Round plate

19 th Century Antique French Sterling Silver SERVING Round Plate. From famous Parisian Silversmith Emile Puiforcat. Decorated edge with beautiful openwork. Acanthus foliage in Rococo style. And one engraved coat of arms.

Diamond shape centred by a pocket knife, and 2 initials E and P (for Émile Puiforcat). With Minerva head for French Sterling Silver. In good condition with normal light scratches from the use and 2 very tiny dings. Since most my 19 th or 18th century items have been previously used over time, they may show signs of wear.
