1920s Set of Six Fruit Knives in a Large Polished 'Turbo Marmoratus' Seashell

About the Item

Beautiful large pearled polished turbo marmoratus shell holder with six fruit knives also with mother of pearl and silvered handles, they stay in place through an ingenious construction inside. The metal of the knives shows some spots of very minor surface wear, but are still sharp, so decorative and functional!

1920s Czech Taxidermy Cow Tur Domácí Bos Taurus Hind Leg Bone Classroom Study
