HARRODS LONDON, VINTAGE 4 PIECE SILVER PLATED ART DECO TEA /COFFEE SERVICE 1930s

  

HARRODS LONDON, VINTAGE 4 PIECE SILVER PLATED ART DECO TEA /COFFEE SERVICE 1930s. Fantastic Art Deco four piece silver plated tea service, made for HARRODS, LONDON. Comprising teapot, hot water pot (or could be a coffee pot), milk jug and sugar bowl.

With great shapes, clean lines. All have Deco style decorative feet, rims and shaped handles.

I'm not certain but I think the black handles and knops are a metal with a black coating. Or a man made material?

All marked with same marks on base - HARRODS LONDON. H LD are the Harrods silver-plate marks and A1 denotes top quality silver plate. Everything about the set says old style British quality. Wonderful to collect and certainly wonderful to use.

Founded in 1849, Harrods remains on the same site in Knightsbridge today, although it is now a considerably larger building. Throughout its existence, Harrods has enjoyed an enviable reputation for high quality goods. Condition - Excellent used vintage condition.

With a couple of tiny dinks on the teapot - see photo 6. Hinges and handles all good.

Silver plating in very good order. Please see all photos to help assess condition fully.
