Silver Folding Fruit Knife, John Oxley, Sheffield 1859

English antique sterling silver fruit knife with a nicely shaped decorative mother of pearl handle.

Hallmarked from Sheffield in 1859, the makers mark is partly worn, it is (IO) but the letter (I) is very faint, this is the mark of John Oxley.

The reverse side of the handle has been engraved with the name ” M.M. Sheppey “. In excellent order but for the very tip of the blade has a small nibble from it, otherwise a super example.

It measures 137mm when opened and 80mm when closed.
