Superb pair of travel knives dating from the 18th century, in the refined Louis XVI style.
- Elegant steel blades, with silver-plated backs, with matching bolsters.
- Finely grooved ivory handles, with a beautiful natural patina. Please note: a slight crack on one of the handles (see photos).
- Original case in green shagreen, a precious and sought-after material at the time.
These knives were probably intended for travel or table use by a high-ranking person.
A beautiful collector's item, rare and authentic.
