Set of 12 Sterling Ferule and Mother of Pearl Dinner Knives- Meriden
$495.00
Made and marked by Meriden, of Meriden, CT, each ferule bears a “STERLING” impressed stamp as well as "Meriden Cutlery Co. 1855.” The company was founded in 1852, and while most of the production would eventually consist of silver plate, these would have been their first quality production using sterling silver for the ferules and stainless steel blades. Wonderful lively quality to the mother of pearl handles and handsome decorative motifs on the ferules. Remarkable excellent antique condition with only very lightest wear to the silver plated blades. These would be an elegant way to spice up a silver dinner service.
