Fratelli Peruzzi 800 sugar bowl

Post by AllSeasons »

I recently acquired this item. However, the official mark is not matching up with Fratelli Peruzzi, which I understand is located in Florence. It's marked "F.lli Peruzzi" for Fratelli Peruzzi; however, it's also marked "1 AL", which is associated with A. CESA S. C. in Alessandria. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is since Peruzzi is a retailer, they outsourced this item to another silversmith, but I'm not sure. Any help in identification would be appreciated.

The images are below. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
The info given earler by blakstone:
Fratelli Peruzzi are upscale retailers in Florence, founded in 1860 and (I think) still in business.

Thank you. That aligns with information I found for Peruzzi, as well. It appears that "F.LLI PERUZZI ARGENTIERI di PERUZZI GUSTAVO" registered "114 FL" in 1935. However, that does not match up with the "1 AL" found on this piece, which is why I wonder if they outsourced it to another silversmith in Alessandria. Alessandria is about 3 hours from Florence today by car.

Hi,
1AL was assigned to A. CESA S. C.in ALESSANDRIA, registered 1935.
So,that is the maker. See here:

Thank you. I was just not sure, because the CESA mark didn't match up with the Peruzzi mark. Is that okay, though, since Peruzzi is just the retailer?
