History: These models were designed around 1923 by Pierre Legrain and realized by the goldsmiths Robert Linzeler and Jean Puiforcat. They were conceived for a larger flatware service commissioned by Jeanne Tachard for her villa in La Celle-Saint-Cloud (Yvelines). A similar service was also made for the collector Jacques Doucet, a close friend of the milliner.
Provenance : former collection of Jeanne Tachard, remained since in the family.
