Hi,
I have cropped,resized and embedded your images.
Marks are not French but Belgian.
I am sure the maker`s marks on top will be identified here.
Regards

Left maker's mark B under a hamer for: Auguste Bonnevie, born in Brussels 20-2-1816, registered silversmith and gilder Brussels 1839-1851, registered in Schaarbeek 1851>1870.
Auguste Bonnevie was born in Brussels on February 20, 1816. In January 1839 he registered as a manufacturer of orfèvre. He specializes in the production of cutlery. He moved to Schaerbeeck in December 1851. His son Emile Adolphe is also a silversmith.

Right maker's mark of Delheid Frères D under a "snake", this particular mark used in Brussels 1862-1980
In 1828 Michel Delheid (1802-1872) started a silver workshop. In 1862 his sons entered the company. They continued from 1866 under the name Delheid Frères. With mechanical presses, they produced utility silver (tea and coffee services and silverware) in neo-styles. During the popularity of the Art Nouveau style in Belgium, the company went through a successful period; around 1900 the factory employed no fewer than 85 employees. Delheid Frères continued to exist until the early 1980s (J.J. Luijt, Het zilverlexicon voor Nederland en België, Zwolle 2006, page 84-85).For all involved sons and grandsons of Michel Delheid see Dievoet 2003).
