This is a very pretty Antique Sterling Silver Fruit Knife from the 1800s. It would be a great gift, particularly for a birthday or 30th Wedding Anniversary.

It was made by Thomas Marples and it was Hallmarked in Sheffield in 1897.

The blade has a lovely etched pattern on one side of the blade along with the Hallmarks and Maker’s Mark. The reverse side has an etched line at the top of the blade.

The handle is beautifully smooth Mother of Pearl. There is a blank oval cartouche on one side of the handle.
