Set of 9 vintage cream table knives

Set of nine antique table knives with ivory-coloured handles and brass bolsters. The blades bear a marking accompanied by a dagger, a symbol often associated with Swiss cutlery. The mark "Hoveuse" can be read, followed by the mention INOX, though this is not absolutely certain due to the wear on the marking. The handles, aged over time, could be made of bone or old Bakelite, though this is uncertain. Their ivory hue and riveted construction evoke the table knives used in homes and bistros in the mid-20th century. Dimensions: Length: approximately 22 cm. Condition: good overall condition. Signs of use on the blades and visible patina on the handles, consistent with their age. Careful shipping is possible.
