Description from the seller

Beautiful set of 6 antique fruit/dessert knives, French-made, probably dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. 220 g.

The knives feature blades in solid silver, stamped with Minerva, as well as a master mark in a rhombus readable E L with a swan pierced by an arrow, attributable to the Parisian silversmith Eugène Lefebvre.

The handles are made of genuine mother-of-pearl, with very beautiful natural hues.

The collars and end caps are richly decorated with foliate and rocaillé motifs, typical of antique French silverware.

A refined, elegant, and decorative set, ideal for an antique table, a silverware collection, or a dessert service.

Generally good condition for its age.

Presence of micro-scratches, small signs of wear and a light natural patina on the silver.

The mother-of-pearl shows beautiful nuances, with a few small normal signs of age-related wear.
