Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Old Friends

The full length of the handle is nubby, slightly twisted, and stem like. The bowl is virtually a leaf, with piercings that resemble veins, and a surface that is engraved with additional leaves. The applied olive and two leaves attached to the stem appear to grow out of it, and appear... Click for details

Geo. Sharp 'Emperor' aka 'Louis XIV' Unusual Coin Silver Serving Fork
Silver : Coin Silver : Serving Pieces
Old Friends
3659f $105.00
Measuring 7 3/4" long and weighing 2.0 T. oz., this fork has rounded shoulders and three wide and lengthy tines, the outer two of which are splayed. The form is uncommon and hence of uncertain function. It may be a spinach or toast/bread fork, or for another purpose yet. The proportions assure it is definitely original and not adapted from another piece as, for example, most potato forks are derived from dinner forks. The maker was George Sharp, Philadelphia, as indicated by his "lion, S,... Click for details
