"Fork, Veuve Roysard, Rennes 1762-64, Gabrielle Bidart, Sterling Silver"
Extremely rare Louis XV emblazoned fork in sterling silver with the hallmark of a widow-goldsmith Gabrielle Bidart who obtained her personal hallmark after the death of her husband Claude Roysard. She remained a goldsmith from 1753 to 1772. It is engraved with pretty alliance coats of arms from the same period topped with a count's crown.
