Antique English Bread Knife, Carved Bone Handle, Threaded Ferrule
$70.00
An antique English bread/cake knife with a hand-carved bone handle in a wheat/leaf motif, joined to the blade with a threaded metal ferrule collar, a construction style seen on documented English examples from the Edwardian era (a comparable hallmarked 1901 Sheffield example with the same carved bone handle style and collar construction is a useful reference point). The maker's mark on this blade is not legible. See Condition Notes below for detail.
