Six knives 1700 - 1750

"Six Knives" is a set of six silver knives created by Paul de Lamerie, a prominent silversmith, between 1700 and 1750. Each knife, measuring 8 1/2 inches in length, features an elegant, curved blade and a handle with a distinctive, swirling, rococo-inspired design. These knives are a testament to de Lamerie's mastery of the silversmithing craft, showcasing the refined taste and intricate craftsmanship of the Rococo period. The set is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
