Description: Set a fine table for your honored guests and beloved family... "Du Barry" Sterling Silver Flatware by International Silver CompanyCirca 1968 HISTORY & STYLE Dine in luxury and splendor with the beautiful and complex intricacies of “Du Barry” by the prolific International Silver Company! Believed to be named for the 18th century Comtesse Du Barry, this 1968 pattern echoes the exuberance of 18th century French Rococo style, characterized by the use of natural imagery, curving patterns, and magnificent detail work. “Du Barry” features a feminine and floral spray of roses and flowers along curving edges of the stem, ending with the swooping flourish at the end. The exquisitely carved detail climbs the neck, spilling onto the bowl of each piece, not unlike flowers that cover a trellis and reach towards the sun. “Du Barry”, with its rich, regal elements and majestic natural imagery, gives the owner the luxurious experience of aristocratic finery. The International Silver Company began as a collective of devoted and skilled New England Silversmiths, who joined to form the company. By 1903, International Silver was on its way to becoming the world's largest manufacturer of silver flatware. It remains one of the most prolific brands made in the U.S.A. International Silver Company designs have been exhibited in numerous museum exhibitions in the United States and abroad. One pattern “ISC” was represented at several Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibitions during the later 1920s and 1930s including "The architect and the industrial arts: An exhibition of contemporary American design" (1929) The refined and sumptuous perfect fit for virtually any style of decor, and suitable for both everyday use and the most formal of festive occasions. The weight of the implements is well-balanced, comfortable and easy to hold and use. The subtle details along the edges of the stems maintain pleasing symmetry amongst the pieces. Each utensil is as much a pleasure to hold and use as it is to behold. 40 PIECES OF STERLING SILVER FLATWARE NEW STORAGE CHEST Your set of sterling silver flatware comes with a storage chest (pictured) for safekeeping and to prevent tarnishing.
