Antique French Sterling Silver Meat Serving Fork with Gilded Stag

A striking and rare example of 19th-century French silver craftsmanship, this antique sterling silver meat serving fork is as functional as it is artistic. The two-tined fork features a dramatic, slightly curved design that adds elegance to any formal dining setting. The standout detail is the exquisitely rendered gilded stag in motion—delicately poised atop the fork's neck—adding a unique touch of naturalistic charm and luxury. 

The handle is finely detailed in classic French style, with Belle Époque or late Napoleon III bow and shield with flowers detail, elegant and high-quality silver-work. The fork tines are steel, so that they can hold a roast or other larger piece of meat while carving. The handle has the French hallmark for .950 silver, Minerva, typical of French silver from this period. A gorgeous piece to add to your entertaining serving pieces, and your silver collection.
