This rare four piece Art Nouveau tea set celebrates all the design features of the age beautifully.

The complete set includes a tea pot with its handle wrapped in wicker. Remarkably, given its 135 years, the wicker remains in perfect condition. The sugar bowl and milk jug are also in absolutely fantastic condition. The tray sits sturdy and balanced and has only some wear related blacks spots but these are minor and in only a few places. The finial to the bowl has been removed.

The design is elegant and discrete with only a repeating diamond motif as embellishment.

A rare set that is a perfect addition to any collection.
