Antique French Vermeil Tea and Coffee Set (Circa 1900-1920)

Indulge in the allure of a meticulously crafted tea and coffee set adorned with silver and gold gilding, hailing from France. The exquisite vermeil designs showcase the fusion of silver and gold, creating a mesmerizing visual blend. Over time, the silver tones acquire a subtle patina, gracefully intertwining with the lustrous warmth of gold. 

This stunning set includes two charming tea pots, a sugar container, and a milk container.

The vermeil technique, also known as gilded silver, refers to the process of plating sterling silver with a layer of gold. The base metal, in this case, is silver, while the outer layer is composed of a thicker gold coating. To achieve the vermeil effect, the silver object is first thoroughly cleaned and polished. Vermeil jewelry and decorative items have been cherished for centuries for their luxurious appearance and versatility.
