French Antique Fruit Cutlery Set - Special Sale

French Antique Fruit Cutlery Set Size: Approximately 25cm in length From European dining tables of the late 19th century, this is an antique cutlery set for fruit and desserts, commonly found in aristocratic households for afternoon tea or banquets at the time. Primarily used for slicing fruits, scooping jams, cheeses, or jellies and soft cheeses, they are not intended for cutting meat or heavy dishes! 🔹 The knife blade features exquisite engraving on its surface. 🔹 The spoon has a wide, rounded shape, with patterns extending to the inner edge of the bowl, making it very convenient for serving diced fruits or desserts. 🔹 The silver handle is delicately carved with a hint of Rococo influence, yet its lines are more upright, a design more typical of the late Victorian era. The metal parts possess a subtle golden sheen, presumed to be gilded or silver-plated brass, intended to prevent corrosion from acidic fruits. Such attention to detail in design was a symbol of household status and taste at the time. Today, they remain practical and are also ideal for collection, photography, or for special occasions, adding a touch of ritual to everyday life. *This design gallery primarily features European antiques, vintage items, and old objects. Having been touched by time, some antiques inevitably bear slight historical marks and dark spots, or minor chips, and may not be as pristine as brand-new items, but these do not detract from their vintage beauty. We kindly ask that perfectionists and those accustomed to purchasing brand-new items consider carefully before ordering. We hope you will become one of us who cherishes antique objects ^^ Please feel free to message us if you have any questions!
