AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful and complete antique silver fish serving cutlery (fish serving knives and fish serving forks) in the style of German Historicism / Neo-Renaissance.
The silver handles are crafted in the refined French Louis XVI style, decorated with hand-engraved laurel wreaths, palmettes (fan-like motifs) and symmetrical scrolls (volutes).
Assay marks: FZM master mark Franz Mosgau
800 silver content
German Reichsmark (Crown and Crescent)
Franz Mosgau was active in Berlin; he is known for executing the designs of the famous architect and designer Peter Behrens in silver.
The set is in excellent condition with normal signs of use over the years, a bright antique appearance with sharp engravings. Small play at the knife where the silver blade part meets the handle (does not affect the solidity of the knife).
Dimensions of the knife: 27 cm high x 5.5 cm wide x 1.5 cm deep
Fork: 25.5 cm high x 5 cm wide x 1.5 cm deep
Weight of the set: 231.4 g (knife: 130.1 g / fork: 101.3 g)
