Art Deco Housewife, Sterling Silver, Delheid, Brussels, 140 Pieces

Magnificent Art Deco cutlery set in solid silver and Macassar ebony for the knives.
It is undoubtedly the most beautiful model of the Belgian production of Art Deco cutlery.
As it is a rather heavy model and therefore expensive at the time of its production, this pattern was only sold very little during the thirties which were nevertheless years of great economic and political difficulties.
The knives are French made and have Maccassar ebony handles.
