A lovely 4pc place setting for one, surely meant as a christening gift though the pieces themselves are more of a luncheon size than that meant for a child. The handles all have the seashell or "coquille" pattern, beautifully engraved with the "Arnauld" dedication. All pieces bear the French Minerve or Minerva hallmark, the tiny number "1" within those marks means they're in. 950 silver 95% pure and higher than the.

Good to very good condition. There is some dimpling to the knife handle and it appears the original steel blade has been sharpened down to an imperfect shape but still usable. One of the fork tines is slightly shorter than the others.
