A series of 24 fruit knives Mother-of-pearl handle With the two ferrules and the blade in solid silver vermeil... The decoration of the blades is in relief and double-sided and it extends onto the edge, a lovely piece of goldsmith work. .. Controlled with the neck brace 2nd title (i.e. 800/1000) With a double coat of arms on the handle... Topped with a count's crown... In good condition except for the box which was mistreated... In blackened pear wood ... The key does not work The hinge is functional... The top of the box is with brass wires which are also not perfect... A cabinetmaker can improve the box without worry... Master goldsmith LASSÉRE - PARIS From the end of the 19th century around 1870 For your information, this type of knife is often 12 or divided by 6... But 24 is not common at all...!
