altena Kunne 800 Silver, have full set
my aunt
Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an art nouveau silver flatware set manufactured by Arnold Künne, Altena in approximately 1900-1910, with the german silver 800 /1000 hallmarks.
Arnold Künne flatware is lesser known than Wilkens or Koch & Bergfeld. The company produced similar designs, but they are hardly in demand today. I am not sure what "full set" means, but for a set for 12 persons the estimate is as listed above.
( The more interesting item is the silver beaker with silver Taler coins issued by archbishop Anselm Casimir von Umstadt , with dedications referring to the famous family zu Eltz.)
Please add some new photos for another appraisal, I would like to see hallmarks at the bottom, etc. Thank you,
You say the more interesting item is the silver beaker. What value do you give to the silver beaker?
