A beautiful set of six fish knives and six fish forks in solid silver (950/1000) from the renowned silversmith Hénin & Cie (hallmarked in 1896).
A superb Art Nouveau design dating from around 1900–1910, featuring an elegant naturalistic decoration of stylized irises in relief, with finely openwork handles and stems showcasing remarkable and refined pierced and chased work.
Each piece bears the Minerva hallmark (950/1000).
Please note that the maker's marks are now partially worn away. Nevertheless, the attribution remains perfectly identifiable thanks to the model itself, which is reproduced several times in David Allan's reference work, "French Tableware and Cutlery of the 19th Century," notably on page 136.
Please see the attached photographs.
