Catalogue Note
The monogram on this tea and coffee set is for Dr. Martin Ferreyra, a well-known Argentinian surgeon who studied in Buenos Aires, France and England. This property came out of his home, the Palacio Ferreyra in Córdoba, Argentina, that he commissioned in 1910 from the Sanson Architects in the French classical style.
