25.01 Knife: Sabre-shaped blade, much ground down towards the point with bolster of flattened spherical shape. Silver handle, cast and chased as a young huntsman wearing pseudo-Roman costume with a turban and a sword on a shoulder helt, standing on a low octagonal plinth. He holds a spear vertically against his body with his right hand and a hunting horn against his chest with his left: a hound sits on the ground behind his legs.
25.02 Fork: Head with two long straight slender tines on a short spherically twisted neck with bolster en suite with that of the knife blade. Handle identical to that of knife and cast from the same mould.Collection
