Description
A rare matching 18th Century Silver folding fruit knife and fork. These wonderful examples have part hallmarks (as is often the case with small Georgian items). Both the knife and fork fold in two stages and sit tight in the handles when folded away. The handles are carved mother-of-pearl and the ferrules and terminals have matching wrythen engraving. Rare to find a matching pair in Georgian silver and great collectors item, with a practical use.
