A superb larger size mother of pearl and silver bladed fruit knife. This has an unusual diamond pattern to the mother of pearl interspersed with small metal pins / nodules. The blade is engraved on each side with two different monograms - perhaps two owners, perhaps the initials of a father and son or perhaps the initials of husband and wife. This is lovely and unusually small collectable item of super quality.
