Georgian Silver and Mother of Pearl Fruit Fork, Circa 1795

18th century
Description

This is a delightful George III silver folding silver fruit fork in excellent condition. It has a reeded silver ferrule matching the reeded mother of pearl handle. The handle inlaid with a vacant navette-shaped silver reserve.

It is only partially hallmarked; ie no maker's mark or date letter, which was often the case for fruit knives and forks.

Fruit forks are more scarce than fruit knives and it is therefore nice to find a Georgian example in such good condition.

Hallmarks:

Duty Mark (George III)

Lion Passant.

Dimensions:

15.5 cm / 6.1 inches open.

9 cm / 3.4 inches closed.

Condition:

Very good condition.

No damage to the mother of pearl.

Dual folding spring mechanism in very good working order.

Good clear hallmarks.

Postage UK: £8 Special Delivery Next day.

Postage overseas: £15 International Signed For.

You can pay by PayPal, bank transfer, cheque, debit or credit card.
