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 52 cm to 37 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. The designs can be traced back to different areas of the country where a local blacksmith would have had a production of eel forks.
