Description from the seller
Beautiful Art Nouveau fish serving set from the 19th century, consisting of a large fish fork and a matching fish knife.
One design by the French silversmith Boulenger (1876-1899).
He was one of the leading Parisian silversmiths (Orfèvrerie) of the 19th and early 20th century.
Weight is 238.0 grams.
After decades of careful collecting I have decided to part with (part of) my collection. I wish these distinctive objects a place with a new enthusiast who understands the value of historical preservation. It is time that these pieces receive the attention they deserve, so that they are preserved for the long-term future as well.
I ensure extremely careful packaging and insured shipping.

It is your responsibility to review all of the information provided about an object, including the condition and description, before placing an order. Sellers are responsible for the information, pictures and description provided, including the quality, quantity and nature of the jewelry supplied. A small imperfection that cannot be seen in the photo but is included in the description is not a non-conformity.

A Lab Report contains only the characteristics of an article described after it has been graded, tested, examined, and analyzed using the techniques and equipment used at the time of the examination from that specific Lab. The results of any other examination performed on the article may differ depending when, how, by whom and with which grading standard the article is examined. In addition, any changes and improvements in techniques and equipment that may have occurred which may enable the examiner to detect, among other things, the use of processes for altering the characteristics of an article which use was previously undetectable, does not automatically mean the object does not conform to its description.
