1 in stock
A stunning example of Art Nouveau silverwork, this antique German fish serving set features ornately repoussé handles with flowing iris blossoms, wrapped ribbons, and textured bark-like ends. Crafted in 800 silver and hallmarked with the post-1888 German crescent moon and crown, the set likely hails from Hanau or Solingen, dating circa 1890–1910.
The knife retains its original fire-gilt finish, enhanced by an engraved kingfisher and lily design, while the fork’s delicate two-tine form showcases refined turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. A perfect collector’s piece or a refined addition to any elegant dining occasion.
