Heled in their original wood presentation box, marked Dessert on top, this beautiful Set is in pristine shape!
The Handles are carved with floral scrolls and seashell décor, beautifully rendered.
The size is actually quite important for a dessert set, which makes it also usable for ‘Entremets’ or starter course.

They actually came from the same household.
The Forks measure 6.67 inches long.
The Spoons measure 7.87 inches long.
