Antique French Sterling Fish Set - Service for Six

An exquisite 19th-century French fish service, created specifically for the refined ritual of serving poisson courses at formal tables. This matched set for six includes delicately engraved fish knives and forks, each with hallmarked blades and beautifully weighted handles.

Originally designed for soft, delicate fish, the intentionally blunt blades glide rather than cut — making this set wonderfully versatile for modern entertaining. Today, they are equally perfect for quiche, breakfast bakes, savory tarts, layered desserts, soft cheeses, pâté, and small plated sides where a gentle, gliding knife is ideal.

The engraving is restrained yet luxurious, catching the light with subtle elegance and bringing ceremonial charm to any table — whether for brunch, dinner, or dessert.
