Hi :)
I would love to know a little more about this flatware.
I got it from a woman in São Paulo / Brazil that has french and english ancestors. From her I also got some real nice FERRY french sterling silver pieces. So there is a good chance it is french. But the engraved sun also suggest south american (?) Anyway, any information would be appreciated, such as possible origin and age. Thanks :)
Marked 800 only
Thanks a lot :)

Hello
Your flatware is not marked correctly for either French or English silver. My best guess is Brazil.
The style of your flatware is neo-Renaissance, popular in the mid to late nineteenth century.
