Antique 12-piece starter cutlery set by HALISO Solingen, consisting of 6 smaller knives and 6 matching forks. The size is suitable for starters, breakfast, cold plates, cheese, dessert or decorative vintage table settings.
The silver-plated handles show an ornamental pattern with influences of Art Nouveau, early Art Deco and Rococo Revival. A lovely partial table setting for collectors and for vintage dining.
HALISO is documented as a brand associated with Hein. August Lindau, Solingen, at least by the 1920s. This set most likely dates from the first half of the 20th century or from a classic pattern produced over a longer period.
The pieces have not been polished to a mirror finish, so the patina and darker details within the ornament remain visible.
