Knife, Corkscrew, And Travel Kit
Folding travel set consisting of a solid silver spoon and fork, a steel knife blade, a saw, and a corkscrew.
The spoon and fork bear the French “first rooster” hallmark, used between 1798 and 1809, spanning the end of the Directory, the Consulate, and the beginning of the First Empire.
Designed for travel, this set brought together the essential utensils for a meal in a compact format.
The quality of the materials used—particularly the solid silver for the cutlery—as well as the completeness of this set, suggest that it was intended for a well-to-do traveler. It may have accompanied an officer or a high-ranking military official on his travels.
