Description from the seller
Splendid, silver pair of fish servers, crafted in the late 19th century by the renowned French silversmith Puiforcat. The handles are shaped as fluted columns with floral decorations. The blades are silver-plated with openwork and are very finely engraved with patterns of plants and flowers.
Length of fishing nets: 30.3 cm / 11.9 inches - 163 grams
Length of the fishing lure: 27.2cm / 10.7 inch - 149 grams
The parts are in excellent condition. The silver handles show no wear, and the silvered dials have no loss of silver.
Marked [E-Mes-P] under the blade of the fork.
The cutlery model is depicted on page 165 of David Allen's 'French Silver Cutlery of the 19th Century' (see the last photo).
This parcel will be professionally packed and sent via registered parcel post, including Track&Trace.
