    An elegantly laid table, a meal that becomes ceremony — this is what this superb set of 12 table knives from the Napoleon III period promises.

    The silver handles, of pistol form, are entirely covered with a guillochéwork in netted pattern of remarkable fineness, each terminating in a polished oval medallion, framed by concentric fillets. The warm patina of the handles testifies to a long life at table, with slight traces of tarnishing that take nothing away from their character.

    The steel blades bear the hallmark 'D★PAR.S.★G', attesting to authentic Parisian manufacture, in the great tradition of cutlers and goldsmiths of the capital in the 19th century.

    The set is presented in its original case of black leather, lined with striking electric blue silk — a setting worthy of these pieces of character.

    Light wear consistent with age, honourable state of preservation. Dimensions: 21 cm in length, weight of one kilogram for the 12 pieces.

    Perfect for a collector's table or to dress up a festive meal, this refined set is ready to find its place in your interior.
