Biography

Condition

This lovely cutlery is in good condition but some of the pieces have a little wear to the silver plate on the knife blades and fork prongs (see photos). All the handles are tight. The wooden box is in good condition. Please note that this item is not new and will show moderate signs of wear commensurate with age. Reflections in the photograph may detract from the true representation of this item. The cutlery handles on this page are made from real mother of pearl shell and there may occasionally be a slight variation in grain and size
