A PAIR OF WEDDING KNIVES
Probably English or German, 17th century.
Round tapered agate handles, the ends of the handles with simple metal caps. Blade bolster with a putti's head in relief surrounded by tendrils and pomegranates. Round spatula blades with smith's mark (worn), probably the dagger mark of The Cutlers' Company London(?).
L ca. 22.5 cm.
Both agate handles with a crack and minor chips. The blades worn.
A similar German knife from the 17th century, which is in the collection of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg, shows almost identical design features and the same choice of materials as the item on offer. The smith's marks are also identical (see Bernhard Heitmann/Carlos Boerner. Historische Bestecke aus der Sammlung des Museums für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg. Hamburg, 2007. pp. 68 and 191, no. 67). A further comparative example can be found in the Egloffstein Collection (Inv. No. 1880.165).
