Silver Gilt Hors d'oeuvres Set

About the Item

This good quality silver gilt hors d'oeuvres set consists of a sardine fork, a butter knife, a pate server and an olive spoon. The silver handles are embossed with neo-classical wreaths and the blades have been engraved prior to gilding. Each of the handles is engraved with a very ornate monogram. The longest of the pieces is the butter knife which measures 185 mm (7 inches) in length and the widest piece is the pate server at 45 mm (1.75 inches). I haven't weighed the silver content as there is a steel or iron rod connecting the two halves of each piece as reinforcement. Each of the handles carry stamped marks, but they have been poorly struck and so are almost impossible to read. One partly legible mark shows the number 95, which could be the Belgian mark 950M which indicates they are were made to that countries' 950 parts per thousand silver standard (British sterling silver is 925 parts per thousand). This set is in very good condition, with very minimal wear to the gilding, and would date from around 1890-1900.
