| OVERALL CONDITION |
Simply too good and so I believe that these knives may have been regilded in the past. All the blades are very firmly fitted into the handles and so here is a set of Georgian silver dessert knives that can actually be used safely and with confidence. | ||

none | ||
MINOR FAULTS |
some very minor knocks to the handles commensurate with light use. | ||
