Amusing Twelve-Piece Set of German Sterling Silver Figural Place Card Holders by Ludwig Neresheimer, Hanau, with London import marks 1913-1914 of Berhold Mueller, in the form of a putti band with a conductor and eleven different musicians. h. 1-1/2"; 5.24 total t. oz.
Some of the small elements are slightly bent, which affects the ability of some to securely hold a card. (The card is held between the putto's head and wings, but some of the wings are bent too far inward or outward to hold the card. This is easily reparable with a pair of round-tip pliers.) Otherwise in generally good condition, with a mellow oxidized patina. Marked as noted in the catalogue description.
