19th century victorian lustrous silver plate and ivory pair of large butter knives in the original fitted case

Description

19th century Victorian pair of silver plate and ivory master sized butter knives in the original fitted case.
The blades are beautifully shaped and engraved with ginkgo and other leaves. Ginkgo is a primitive species which preceded dinosaurs, and is often used for decorating antiques, as it is symbolic of longevity and hope.
The handles are wonderfully carved ivory, in very good condition. The knives are enclosed in their original leather case, lined with striking blue silk and velvet.
Size-8 inches long by 1 1/8 inches wide.
With lovely colour and patina, these are in very good condition, and are wonderful to use for butter, cheese or pate, or to give as a gift.
