Table knife set (12) - Ebony / monogrammed steel - G. Joubert Thiers

Key Strengths of the Lot:
Genuine Ebony Wood: The handles feature a clean, conical, ergonomic profile, entirely made from precious natural ebony in a deep black color. The material’s authenticity has been rigorously tested: under oblique light the fine longitudinal grain typical of exotic wood fibers is clearly visible, while UV light examination recorded a total absence of fluorescence, categorically excluding the use of bakelite, resins, or antique plastics.
Author-Pressed Custom Blades: Each straight-back blade is enhanced by a refined calligraphic monogram intertwined with the letters "P.C.", incised at the time on a specific commission. The blade butt also bears the original oval stamp with the manufacturer’s initials from France, "G.J".
Exquisite Details: The junction between the handle and the blade is finished with a splendid metallic ferrule worked with elegant raised geometric motifs.
Condition Report – Pre-Loved Service:
The set is structurally intact, solid, and sound. The ebony handles show no cracks, fissures, or breaks, maintaining a splendid compactness. Explicitly note that, being an authentically worn and used service, the blades bear widespread signs of age: superficial scratches, oxidation stains, and a pronounced vintage patina. These aesthetic details attest to the object's history and have been extensively highlighted in macro photographs.
NOTE ON SHIPPING:
Tracked shipping managed with professional secure packaging. NOTE: We do NOT ship to non-Italian islands (for example the Spanish islands, Greek islands, Azores, or French overseas territories). Shipping is regularly available to the entire Italian territory (including islands) and Continental Europe.
