The two pieces fit together.
The handles are made of mother-of-pearl and silver. The fork is silver, the knife blade is steel for added strength.
The mother-of-pearl is magnificent, of the highest quality, with a superb iridescence, very colorful.
The fit of the two pieces is remarkable, if not perfect. The interlocking of the knife and fork is a great pleasure, as the fit is so precise. It is a magnificent work of goldsmithing and craftsmanship.
The fork is hallmarked:
. Crab hallmark
. A very small, hard-to-read goldsmith's hallmark: UP (?) with a different mark to identify
. In full: MAUPLOT // PARIS
