About the Item

A collection of 5 wrought iron eel forks from the 18th century. Extremely decorative and each one unique. Each one is a work of art. Sizes vary from 38 cm to 50 cm. Would look amazing in a fish restaurant, bar, club or even in your home. In 2009 use of eel forks was prohibited by law in Denmark.
