Antique Sterling Silver Mother of Pearl Spreading Knives Set, Landers, Fray & Clark

Elevate your next table setting or charcuterie board with this elegant set of five antique spreading knives by Landers, Frary & Clark (stamped Aetna Works). This set dates to between 1890-1915. Measuring exactly 6 inches in length, each knife features a beautifully contoured, iridescent mother-of-pearl handle that catches the light with a natural, luminous glow. The handles are seamlessly joined to the curved steel blades by striking sterling silver ferrules. These ferrules are distinctly hallmarked "STERLING" and feature a deeply embossed, ornate floral and foliate motif that adds a touch of Victorian-era refinement. Perfect for serving butter, soft cheeses, or jams, this set showcases authentic, age-appropriate character. The blades and silver fittings display expected surface wear, minor scratching, and vintage patina, all of which speak to their rich history and long life of use.

Condition: Excellent condition, no chips, cracks, or breaks to the mother of pearl handles.

Measurements (approximate - rounded to the nearest quarter inch):

VINTAGE & ANTIQUE
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and aged goods. In most cases, we do not clean or polish any items that come into our shop. Once you remove an item's traces of age and patina it's not something you can reverse, so we leave those activities up to the buyer. We do not disassemble found art from their frames unless it is necessary to differentiate a print from an original piece of art. Vintage prints purchased from this shop could originate from any print media (e.g., magazines, books, photographs, art prints, etc.). We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description. We want to make sure you are happy with your purchase so, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have prior to checkout.

SHIPPING
As much as possible, we utilize recycled shipping boxes. The box you receive your item in may show signs of wear and pre-use.

PHOTOGRAPHY
All photos are taken in natural light and we do not use any photo filters and do not perform any photo editing (other than basic photo cropping). Depending on your monitor settings, there may be subtle differences in color once you see your item in person.
