This six piece service, in exceptional condition, weighs 195 oz. troy. The masterful Chinoisserie theme, done in wonderful overall repousse work was a popular idiom of the mid to late 19th century. All pieces are marked "S.Kirk & Son: and "11 oz".

The large water urn stands eleven and three-quarter inches tall, and the cream pitcher nearly as tall at eleven inches. A truly magnificent large service by this most important 19th century silversmith.
