Charming Set of 6 Louis XV Style Silver Lamb Chop Holders

Charming Antique French Silver Set of 6  Lamb Cutlet Holders in the Rocaille or louis XV Style.

They are delicately decorated with lovely floral designs Rocaille scrolls on the handles.
They are part of all these implements that were created to facilitate meals and particularly to avoid to the diner participants any occasion to dirty their hands while dining….
Hence the little clamps would be fitted in the kitchen onto to the bone of the cutlet and screwed tight, so the guest would simply have to pick up the little handle and tranquilly, as well as cleanly enjoy the little cutlet!

The pieces are in perfect shape and come in their presentation box.

The Hallmark is ‘Minerve’ 1 -1st title – 1838 -1919– Paris
