English antique sterling silver folding fruit knife with mother of pearl handle, Beautifully decorated blade and handle, the blade with an interesting shape and design.
Hallmarked from Sheffield in 1900 with the makers mark being that of C W Fletcher & Son Ltd.
Wonderful tight blade, suggesting a knife not overly used.
Condition is excellent with just two small edge nibbles on the mother or pearl on the plainer reverse side (these are minimal and nothing at all which could be considered drastic not unsightly and will be missed by most peoples naked eye, magnification by the camera or by a loupe would show them easier.
The knife measures 128mm when opened and 75mm when closed.
