The very rare salad cutlery in silver and ivory – Emperor Wilhelm II, circa 1890 is an outstanding example of imperial table culture and combines historic tableware, imperial provenance and masterful silversmithing. The two cutlery pieces – ivory spoon and fork – show the typical, slightly cream-colored material structure, while the silver handles are richly decorated and bear the representative signature of the late imperial era.
