Vintage Sterling Silver Fruit Knife

This antique fruit knife features a beautifully crafted handle made of iridescent mother of pearl. The blade is hallmarked sterling silver, indicating quality and authenticity. The knife’s design is typical of late 19th or early 20th-century fruit knives, intended for elegant dining and fruit consumption.

Condition and Collectibility

The knife shows signs of age and use, with some minor wear to the mother of pearl and slight discolouration to the silver blade. Despite this, it remains a charming example of a vintage silver fruit knife. Collectors will appreciate its hallmarked silver, mother of pearl handle, and overall aesthetic, making it a desirable addition to a collection of antique cutlery.
