Description from the seller
French Carving Set – 835 Silver Handles – Louis XVI Style – ca. 1900
Antique French two-piece carving set dating from around 1900, consisting of a carving knife and a three-pronged carving fork.
Both pieces feature substantial and richly decorated 835/1000 silver handles, bearing French hallmarks. The handles are executed in an elaborate Louis XVI / Neoclassical Revival style, with relief decoration, floral motifs, fluting and architectural detailing.
The knife is fitted with a steel blade marked “INOXYDABLE”, the French term traditionally used for corrosion-resistant/stainless steel.
The combination of the French hallmarks, 835 silver fineness, French blade marking and decorative execution makes this an attractive antique serving set from around the turn of the 20th century.
The exact silversmith or manufacturer has not been conclusively identified.
