51050-French Antique Floral Embossed Silver Handle Cutlery Set of 6 with Box

51050-French Antique Floral Embossed Silver Handle Cutlery Set of 6 with Original Box This exquisite 19th-century French 6-piece cutlery set features high-relief floral silver handles with the "Minerva 1st Standard" hallmark (950 silver). The collection includes meat carvers, salad servers with precious *vory heads, and ornate fish servers with delicate openwork engravings. Presented in its original velvet-lined box, this set represents the pinnacle of historical elegance and French craftsmanship. 👀Important Note on Design: The handles of the meat carving knife and fork feature intentionally varied floral designs within the same artistic theme. In classic French tableware, this hierarchy of design was used to distinguish the primary and secondary roles of each tool and to showcase the collector's bespoke taste. This intentional variation confirms the set's historical authenticity and is a mark of high-end craftsmanship, not a mismatch of sets. *Content: Meat Knife x1, Meat Fork x1, Salad Spoon x1, Salad Fork x1, Fish Serving Knife x1, Fish Serving Fork x1, Original Box x1 *Size: Meat Knife: L32.5 x handle W2.7 x handle H1.2 cm Meat Fork: L27.5 x handle W2.7 x handle H1.2 cm Salad Spoon: L28 x handle W2.3x handle H1.2 cm x head W4.5 cm Salad Fork: L28.5 x handle W2.3x handle H1.2 cm Fish Serving Fork: L28 x handle W2.7x handle H1.2 cm x head W6.5 Fish Serving Knife: L31.5 x handle W2.7 x handle H1.2 x blade x W5cm Box: L36.5 x W30 x H5 cm *Weight: Meat Knife 112g, Meat Fork 140g, Salad Spoon 84g, Salad Fork 82g, Fish Serving Fork 159g, Fish Serving Knife 132g (Box 1.08kg) *Material: French 950 Solid Silver (Handles), Steel/Engraved Blades, *vory (Salad server heads) *Origin: France *Hallmark: Minerva 1st Standard (950 Silver) *Year: Circa late 19th Century Reference code : W60209-2315 ⚠️ Please note: Antique or vintage objects have historical wear&tear of use regardless of color and surface.
