AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 6 fish cutlery in 833/1000 silver and gilded metal - Javali II, Portugal, 1887–1937. An antique Portuguese six-piece set of fish cutlery, comprising three knives and three forks, dating from the period of use of the Javali II contrast/pattern (1887–1937). The handles, in Portuguese silver 833/1000, feature Neoclassical-inspired decoration, with a fluted body, oval insets, vegetal motifs, and raised relief motifs. The respective contrasts are located at the junction with the blades. The three knives have gilded blades with a stepped/recut profile, richly engraved with representations of fish, vegetal scrolls and ornamental motifs. The three forks, also gilded, have four tines and engraved decoration in the same style, forming a particularly decorative and uncommon set. The combination of white-silver handles with gilded elements creates an elegant visual contrast, characteristic of late 19th/early 20th-century place settings for table service. Shows signs of use compatible with age.
