Victorian English fish serving knife and fork, Aesthetic Movement, C. 1888 (date ascertained by Registered Design No. 95579), presented in the original fitted case. Silverplate blade, tines, ferrules and end caps with stag antler handles.
The wide, scimitar-form fish knife and matching five-tine fork are finely engraved with Aesthetic Movement floral and foliate motifs, including detailed back serration on the blade. The silver mounts are stamped “Rd. 95579” and fitted to substantial natural stag antler handles with rich patina and strong grain. Knife measures approximately 13½” overall; fork approximately 10 1/4”. Both pieces remain in very good antique condition with crisp engraving, light surface wear consistent with age, and solid handles free of structural splits. The burgundy velvet and satin-lined presentation case shows expected period wear.
An elegant late Victorian table accessory and strong decorative accent for a traditional dining room or sideboard display.
