12 black Empire style table knives with silver ferrule Gimel

Set of 12 table knives 24 cm. The blade is made of stainless steel, stamped gimel. The handle is black and appears to be made of ebony wood. The bolsters are made of silver or metal containing silver. These knives are sober and elegant. In good general condition, they have some marks of time and use: a slightly warped knife, a few micro cracks on some handles, a few dots on the metal (see photos).
