Ornate French silver-handled carving set, comprising a carving knife and matching three-prong fork, each fitted with finely cast handles in a classical Louis XVI-inspired pattern. The handles are richly adorned with scrolling foliage, floral garlands, and symmetrical cartouche motifs, framed by beaded borders, reflecting refined late 19th to early 20th century craftsmanship. Both pieces bear the French Minerva hallmark, attesting to a minimum of .800 silver purity. Fork length: 26 cm; knife length: 30.5 cm; total weight: 166 grams.
