Silver-French

Silver is listed by material, such as coin, plate, or sterling; by some major manufacturers, such as Tiffany; by the type of item, such as candlesticks, jewelry, and napkin rings; or by country of origin. Countries throughout the world have their own unique silver styles, traditions, and marks. Silver from France is listed here. French silver, especially table settings, was particularly influential throughout Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
