Presented is a set of 12 silver knives with mother of pearl handles. The entire blade is gold washed silver, along with the bottom of the handle and the shield form in the center of the handle. The silver blades mean that this set was likely intended for fruit, not for tougher foods like meat. These knives are from Frankfurt in the early to mid 1800s.
The knives are marked Schott and the loth mark 13 with a crown above, which represents .812 purity.
The knives are in great condition. Some of the knives have wear to the blades, nothing very significant. The gold wash is slightly worn out in some places, mostly on the shield forms which had the most contact with human hands. There are no breaks, no splits, and no repairs.
The knives are approximately 8 inches long.
The knives weigh 386.5 grams as a whole.
