1905 British Antique Sterling Silver Handle Set of 5 Tea Knives by John Biggin in Case
SKU: 202312083951
Introducing a British antique tea knife set.
This is a 1905 work by John Biggin from Sheffield, England .
It is a small knife used during tea time called a tea knife.
The sterling silver handle has a pistol grip shape and is decorated with cute small flowers.
The blade has been replaced with a new one made of stainless steel and is shaped like a butter knife.
I think it was a set of 6 pieces, but one piece was missing, making it 5 pieces.
It is housed in a leather covered case.
We hope this wonderful antique silver will add color to your everyday!
