Presented is a great set of 8 sterling silver fruit knives. These knives date to around the turn of the century, and are done in a pattern very similar to Dominick & Haff's Labours of Cupid. The handles are decorated with an openwork design of a cupid with a basket of fruit on his head, with various foliate and scroll designs surrounding. The knives have a rich gold wash, suitable for use with acidic or corrosive foods. The knives have a sharp lower edge, with serration along the upper edge and a pointed tip, very versatile.

This set is in great condition. The details of the pattern are nice and crisp. The gilding is pristine. There are no bends, no breaks, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.

Each knife is stamped sterling and the retail mark for Brand-Chatillon Co on the stem.

Each knife is about 7 1/4 inches long.

The total weight for the set is 348 grams or 12.3 regular ounces. -jm
