Antique Victorian sterling silver and mother of pearl folding pocket knife.
$95.19
A fine example of Victorian design, crafted with elegance and remarkable detail.
Design & Craftsmanship
Silver Accents: The base of the handle is strengthened with an unusual ribbed silver backing, a feature rarely seen on similar knives.
Mother-of-Pearl Handle: The hand-carved handle is made from high-quality mother-of-pearl, most likely Australian pearl shell, which was widely exported to England during the 1800s.
Clear Victorian Hallmarks: The blade carries well-struck hallmarks, including the maker’s mark and the portrait of Queen Victoria, confirming duty payment to the Crown.
Sterling Silver: The hallmarks guarantee it is genuine sterling silver — not plated or stainless steel which are obviously much less valuable.
Condition
There is a crack on one mother of pearl scale. One half moves very slightly when pressed. The piece is discount by 50% on account of this.
Blade: Strong, straight, and aligns tightly with the handle when open and flush when closed.
Mechanism: Smooth and secure action.
Size: 125mm when open.
Particularly appealing to collectors of English sterling silver and mother-of-pearl antiques.
