Antique Sterling silver carving set for game / venison meat. Made Paris, France, early 19th century.<BR>Knife is nearly 13inches long and fork is 11 inches long.<BR>Set is clearly well used and both knife and long tynes of fork have been sharpened like razors.<BR>Unusual shape to fork - rounded curve adds strength and prevents slipping as well as adding to the<BR>beauty of the design.

Very delicate and intricate with fine detail. Highest quality workmanship. <BR>Both pieces are hallmarked.
