A set of two antique knives with mother-of-pearl handles. The blades are silver-plated and bear the EP hallmark. The rare design features Japanese-style depictions of flowers, butterflies, birds, and trees. It is believed to be influenced by Japonism, a trend that flourished in Europe in the late 19th century. This is considered a historically valuable item, reflecting the recognition of Japanese culture and the fusion of British and Japanese cultures. Cutlery with this kind of design is not commonly found. In addition, the color of the joint is also delicately and beautifully designed. As mother-of-pearl is a natural material, each piece has a unique appearance. We highly recommend this to those who appreciate history! The length is 19 cm. Although the exact age cannot be determined, it is in remarkably good condition, seemingly over 100 years old. Please check the images for the condition.
