Eugène Lefebvre - Nacre véritable - Table knife set (6)...

Beautiful set of 6 antique fruit/dessert knives, French-made, probably dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. 220 g. The knives feature blades in solid silver, stamped with Minerva, as well as a master mark in a rhombus readable E L with a swan pierced by an arrow, attributable to the Parisian silversmith Eugène Lefebvre. The handles are made of genuine mother-of-pearl, with very beautiful natural hues. The collars and end caps are richly decorated with foliate and rocaillé motifs, typical of antique French silverware. A refined, elegant, and decorative set, ideal for an antique table, a silverware collection, or a dessert service. Generally good condition for its age. Presence of micro-scratches, small signs of wear and a light natural patina on the silver. The mother-of-pearl shows beautiful nuances, with a few small normal signs of age-related wear. The photos are part of the description.
