Antique Italian Silver-Plated Knife & Fork

This beautiful 19th-century Italian carving set bears the mark “Vrai Garibaldi”, an interesting marriage of French-meaning (“true”) with Italian craftsmanship. The set includes a carving knife and fork, both with bone or ivory-colored handles, in its original fitted presentation case, lightly lined on the interior. The quality and style are indicative of refined dining customs among upper-class households of Europe at the time.
