I believe the handles are sterling but I could not find a hallmark. The knife features a beautifully pierced blade with scrolling foliate designs and a detailed fish motif, while the matching fork is delicately shaped with a coordinating openwork detail. Both utensils have ornately cast handles in a Rococo style, adorned with scrolls, shell-like flourishes, and floral accents.

Each handle is monogrammed, adding a personal and historic touch. The pieces rest in a fitted case lined in rich crimson velvet and satin, enhancing their sense of occasion and collectibility. A fine example of 19th to early 20th century table silver, this set would have been used for formal fish courses and remains a timeless accent for elegant entertaining or display. See less
