Item Description
An extraordinary and highly visual collection ofGeorgian-era fruit or dessert knives, combining the strict elegance of period silversmithing with the untamed beauty of natural geology, Circa 1810-30s.
Designed for the affluent 19th-century table, this set of 8 plus 1 knivesshowcases exceptionally rare, hand-carved onyxhandles with finely worked silver-gilt blades stamped ‘Paris’. A striking testament to historic European luxury, these pieces remain as beautifully functional today for the starter, cheese, or dessert course as they were two centuries ago.
Every knife is completely unique, offering a distinct tactile and visual experience for the collector or dinner guest. All are in good working condition, but the extra knife shows more use with a cracked onyx handle but still solid.
