Buyer's premium:

A cased set of six small, three-tined forks, likely intended for dessert or pastry. Each fork is made of silver-plated metal, featuring ornate, possibly floral or rococo-inspired, raised patterns on their handles. One visible fork handle is stamped “SILVERPLATED SAILOR,” with additional illegible markings further down. The hinged presentation box is covered with a patterned material featuring a repeating stylized leaf motif in silver-grey on an off-white background, secured by a brass-toned metal clasp. The interior is lined with vibrant royal blue satin, with individual velvet-like slots for each fork. The style suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary period.
