Series of 18 mother-of-pearl and vermeil fruit knives

Set of 18 fruit knives. The mother-of-pearl sleeves are decorated with a badge and vermeil viroles, the blades are also decorated. The whole is in excellent condition both in terms of mother-of-pearl and vermeil. Note that a handle does not have a completely straight stop following a lack of mother-of-pearl which for me is original and is not due to a shock. Also worth noting, a blade has a striped side and the vermeil is a little more faded. The series is punched to the old man but they are not all of the same goldsmith. Two knives are punched to the old man of Province with a hallmark of goldsmith "JD", nine to the old Parisian and the hallmark of goldsmith "PC" and to finish seven to the old Parisian and the goldsmith "SJ". The whole is presented in a box provided for this purpose. French work of the 19th century between 1819 and 1838 date of use of the old hallmark. Size: Total length: 20cm Sleeve length: 9.5cm Blade length: 10.5cm Sleeve width: 1.36cm widest Blade width: 1.44cm widest Sleeve thickness: 0.65mm Blade thickness: 1.5mm
