Set composed of 12 dessert-cheese knives and 12 fruit knives, a total of 24 pieces (note that a mother-of-pearl handle of a dessert knife is broken / possibility of giving another knife to the model so a cutler-goldsmith can make the change). Vermeil ferrules and bases (gold on silver) with fruit decoration and spectacular double-sided mascarons. Blades of the Steel Dessert Knives signed in full by the Cutler MERICANT, the blades of the fruit knives are in Vermeil with the 2nd Title and guarantee Hallmarks for PARIS 1819-38 and also Hallmarks of the Master Goldsmith Jean-Baptiste MERICANT (Hallmark with the initials "JM" and a crowned Maltese cross between two points) received in 1826. Rare Double-Service of Charles X period Knives in Vermeil and Gold in good general condition, with spectacular decoration, and presented in a box.
