Rare Georgian Silver and Mother of Pearl Folding Fruit Knife, Sheffield 1816

19th century
Description

This is a delightful George III silver folding silver fruit knife in excellent condition. It has the most exquiste mother of pearl handle, engraved with a bird amongst foliage. The handle inlaid with a rectangular silver reserve. The blade with a bright-cut border and set of hallmarks. It is only partially hallmarked; ie no maker's mark , which was often the case for fruit knives and forks. Good Georgian fruit knives are scarce and it is therefore nice to find a Georgian example in pristine condition.
