Tiffany Sterling Lap-Over-Edge Melon Fork Knives - c.1880's, Set of 12
Have you ever seen anything like these before? These are the rarest flatware pieces we have ever had to offer. This set of 12 Tiffany sterling handle melon fork knives are just as unique as it gets. A rare acid-etched custom variation of the Lap-Over-Edge pattern, each knife varies in its design. Incorporated into this modernistic array of circles is the monogram 'FBP'. The handles are sterling and marked 'Tiffany & Co Makers Sterling'. The silverplated blades, marked 'Tiffany & Co New York', have curved fork tines and an edge that bevels to be used as a knife blade. These exceptionally rare pieces measure 7.75 inches long and are in great condition.
