Antique French Sterling Silver 3pc Meat Carving Set, Art Nouveau Pattern, in Box
Absolutely gorgeous antique Belle Epoque era c. A wonderful set, complete and all pieces with matching pattern. The set includes 12.25 meat carving knife, fork & gigot and the storage case/box! Hallmarked sterling silver handles, the French Minerve or Minerva on each, the tiny number “1” mark within designates them as being. 950 silver content 95% pure, higher than the. 925 standard for sterling silver. There are silversmith marks, beginning with “E” but mostly illegible and I’ve not been able to find reference to the maker. Original steel tines & blade on the meat serving pieces. All original and all in wonderful shape, gorgeous! A slight dimple possible to the silver handles but no larger dents, damage or repairs to note. Some tarnish and/or corrosion to the steel (pre-stainless steel). The box appears original, all pieces fit and the box itself is in great shape. See pictures for measurements.
