Beautiful vintage Sheffield boxed set featuring six 6.3 inch MOP fruit knives, each knife capped by a sterling ferrule and housed inside the original fitted case. Mother-of-pearl handles show a soft glow under light, classic profile, and gentle curves that sit comfortably in hand. Blades show light surface marks from age and use, but still present beautifully on the table.
This is a quality vintage set, likely mid to late 20th century, with a classic old money look. The case measures about 7.5 by 6.5 by 1.25 inches, with a sturdy hinge, secure clasp, and interior fitted insert that holds the knives neatly in place.
Perfect for entertaining when serving cheese platters, charcuterie, and fondue, as well as fruit and dessert. They look wonderful styled on a cheese or charcuterie board, beside a fondue pot, or as a refined accent on a bar cart or buffet, when cutting 🍋
Condition is vintage, not new. Expect surface wear, tiny marks, subtle patina, and small age-related flaws, all natural results of prior use. Please review photos closely as they form a major part of the description.
