Two knives 1730 - 1765

"Two Knives" is a pair of silver butter knives created by Albert Schurman between 1730 and 1765. They are currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Each knife measures 7 3/4 inches in length and features a simple, elegant design with an ornate, engraved handle. The knives, dating back to the 18th century, offer a glimpse into the craftsmanship of the era and are considered a fine example of silverware from this period.
