Description from the seller
French 950 Silver Fish Serving Set – Original Fitted Case – Rococo Revival – c. 1880–1900 – 200 g – No Reserve
An elegant and highly decorative French two-piece fish serving set dating from the late 19th century, comprising a large four-tine serving fork and matching pierced fish slice.
Both pieces are richly decorated in the Rococo Revival / Louis XV Revival style, with elaborate floral, foliate and scrolling ornament.
The fish slice is particularly attractive, featuring extensive pierced and engraved decoration incorporating a stylised fish surrounded by scrolling foliage. The matching serving fork is similarly decorated with pierced and engraved ornament, creating a visually coherent pair.
According to the accompanying documentation, the set is of French origin and made of 950/1000 silver.
