This set includes six elegant table knives from Coutellerie Bouffrière, a testament to French cutlery craftsmanship from the first half of the 20th century. They date to around 1930. Preserved in their original box, covered with embossed crocodile-effect paper, they evoke beautiful pre-war family tables and the sets offered for weddings or important events. The steel blades bear the oval Coutellerie Bouffrière marking, while the blackened wooden handles are accentuated by slender decorated ferrules that add a touch of discreet elegance. The set exhibits a beautiful harmony and that authentic charm that only the patina of time can bestow. The original box, with its beige fabric interior, accompanies the six knives and fully contributes to the character of this antique piece. Some traces of use and a light patina are visible, consistent with its age. One can imagine the box open on a white tablecloth, the dark handles aligned like a row of elegant soldiers, the steel blades catching the light of a festive dinner. An ideal set to complete a collection, create a distinctive table setting, or offer an item steeped in history.
