Product Description

Silver Fruit Knife

Large size antique silver fruit knife by Thomas Marples, hallmarked from Sheffield in 1880.
 The handle is free from any sort of damage and the blade closes with know springback, a few scratches to blade but otherwise a good clean larger than average example.
When opened it measures 149 mm and when closed measures 84 mm.
During the 18th century, as folding fruit knives became popular in England, they spread to the British Colonies and into America becoming a popular type of knife as a result of their versatility. In recent years, the sterling silver and mother of pearl folding fruit knives have become collectors’ items, particularly those crafted in France during the late 18th century together with early ones made in England.
