This set includes an intricately designed fish knife and fork set featuring elaborate engravings on both the knife blade and the fork prongs. The handles are made of silver with detailed embossed decorations, giving the set a regal and ornamental look. Both the knife and the fork have gold-washed accents, enhancing the delicate and ornate engravings on the surfaces. The set is housed in its original red velvet-lined box, marked by "A. Guttenhofer, Juwelier Würzburg," signifying its origin from a respected German jeweler.

Dimensions:

  • Knife Length: 10.75"
  • Fork Length: 9.5"

Condition

The set shows some signs of age with minor surface scratches and tarnishing, particularly around the engraved areas, typical for antique cutlery. The gold-washed parts have retained their color with minimal fading. The fork finial is missing. The box has visible wear but remains in overall good condition, with the red velvet interior still vibrant.
