1 in stock
English sterling silver folding fruit knife with a decorative mother of pearl handle and comes with its original cardboard case.
The hallmarks on this knife are very worn and impossible to date to a specific year but we would say c.1820, not a huge annoyance as many early examples only had the lion passant and duty head anyways.
A fantastic knife in wonderful order other than the poor hallmarks.
Measures 139mm when opened and 78mm when closed.
