Lovely antique French Palais Royal marked set of twelve 7 7/8\" luncheon or entremet sized table knives with hand painted floral enamel or porcelain handles, original Paris marked steel blades and also the original fitted storage and/or presentation box! The inside lid of the box is marked \"L. Bally, 47 Galerie Montpensier, Palais Royal\". This set comes from the shops of the old Palais Royal, formerly the Richelieu Palace, which became a shopping and theater arcade in mid-1700s and host to Kings, Emperors, Elite of Europe and abroad. If you have been there, you know just the arcade I mean. I was just there, and they\'re renovating it to become a modern luxury retailer\'s \'mall\' of sorts, which service it was in when this needlework set would have first been purchased, sometime in late 1700s to as late as perhaps 1830. The central court of the Palace grounds is a garden, and it is surrounded by apartments on upper floors, and on the ground floor, a great array of boutiques and shops that would have then carried the finest luxury goods possible to acquire. Everything from large and expansive (and expensive) layered vanity sets for royals, with silversmith names like Biennais, Odiot, earliest Puiforcat, and loads of fine old French opaline glass trinkets and objects. You\'d have found the finest in French silver, glass, clothing and finery of leather goods. You\'d find exotic carved and sculpted items, fine foods and restaurants catering to the very highest strata of culture. And from that lauded early shopping center comes this lovely set of table knives, complete in the original box. Good condition. All have the original steel blades, they predate stainless so you do see some age tarnish and/or corrosion. Two of the handles have cracks in the enamel or porcelain, shown in the images. The box is in okay shape, as you can see, with two age splits in the lid and one in the base. See pictures for all measurements.

Return Policy:
We always honor a 3-day return on our items, and guarantee them to be as described. Money back, less shipping costs, which are not refundable, so ask questions if necessary. We\'re easy to deal with.
Shipping and Handling Policy:
You are very important! Our fine inventory is very important. And your ranking of our performance is also very important! We wish to keep our 4.9 - 5 star ratings in all categories. Customer satisfaction is paramount with us, so if you\'re thinking we have not deserved your highest marks, please contact us and allow us to be sure your concerns are completely satisfied before you rank us. We aim for 5-star transactions every day, and depend upon you to tell us directly if we have not yet met that standard for your transaction. Thank you! We most often use USPS for our shipping needs but will be happy to ship by another carrier if you prefer.
We charge only actual postage & insurance, never a handling fee and never for packaging materials. is now requiring that our clients rank us on \"shipping\". The shipping price, speed and handling are actually under the sole control of the delivering postal agency, not Antiques & Uncommon Treasure so please remember that and leave us high DSR rankings. As always, please also feel free to contact us if you have any problems or concerns, we\'ll do what we can to ensure a happy and mutually enjoyable transaction.
Insurance has been eliminated as an option by , forcing us sellers to either ship your items without insurance or assume that expense also. We always insure our items BUT, more importantly, pack them extremely well knowing that most are not replacable. Again, damage in transit, while rare in our experience, is due to the postal agency handling and not caused by Antiques & Uncommon Treasure. Please remember that when leaving DSR ratings. Thanks!
Our shipping days are Tuesday and Friday, paid items will be shipped on the first shipping day after payment is recieved (except when special circumstances exist). We prefer to use USPS whenever possible, and require all packages to be insured. If you prefer another method of shipment, please mention it. We charge only actual expense of shipment/insurance, except in the case of larger items which must have special wood crates built. Wood crate charge, when applicable, is a flat $35.00 in addition to actual postage & insurance charges.
