French vintage Cutlery s/12

This set of 12 vintage French cutlery is from the famous house of Ercuis. It consists of 12 silver plated forks and spoons, 24 pieces, all richly adorned on front and back with fig leaves and olive twigs. In the old days knives were never included in the gift as it was considered bad luck. That is the reason you will often find or see boxed boned knife sets. They were bought separately to complement the cutlery set. Size: L 21.5cm. This item was sourced on the markets in France. Weight of the set is 1740 grms. Postage from France included.
