AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is an antique silver beef fork or sour fork. Such forks, often with three tines and decorative engravings in Biedermeier style, were used in the Netherlands as early as the 19th century.

Information about the fork

Purpose: The fork was used to pick up cold cuts, pickles, silver onions, or ginger from a bowl and place them on one's own plate, without reaching into the bowl with fingers or a personal fork.

Features: The depicted model has three tines and is decorated with detailed flower or leaf engravings on both the handle and the upper part of the fork. The openwork 'eyes' in the tines are characteristic of this type of cutlery.

Year letter z = 1859
Master mark 30 above BCV in square = Barend Cornelis Verkerk
Location: Amsterdam
Style: Biedermeier
Material: second-grade silver
Weight: 20.16 grams
