This pattern, a great classic of the house of Robert Haviland & C. Parlon, bordered with matte gold, is the ideal showcase for personal monograms or a gold coat of arms. This dinnerware is used by Belgian Embassies
throughout the world.
Originally produced in 1762 by Falconet for Empress Catherine II of Russia, this service was later recreated in 1950 for the Metropolitan Museum of New York.
This pattern, entirely worked in gold, had previously been published by the house in color in the 1970s. Here is a more contemporary version than ever on a white or black background, where the gold is fully expressed.
