AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of 6 knives with 950 silver Minerva blades (first title), and handles in polished mother-of-pearl of exceptional beauty. These knives, signed by the Parisian silversmith Henry Soufflot, are a true masterpiece and a unique piece, in perfect condition despite their use. The quality of the silver and the delicate finish of the mother-of-pearl handle make it a valuable and refined ensemble. Estimated market value exceeds €1,000, but I offer it at an attractive price of €300, coming from an inheritance. A rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of exceptional pieces.
