A fantastic example of a large and nicely carved antique Victorian bread knife, with intricate wheat detail.
This steel bladed carved bread knife is a great example of the craftsmanship that went into producing carved treen items at the time. The wheat detail on the handle is nicely carved and has a lovely finial end. Part of this has fallen away on the back of the handle but this doesn't detract from the front in any way. There is some thinning and tarnishing to the steel blade from contact with water over the years, as is common with these types of knives. But overall it's a lovely piece.
Length, 31cm; Width, 3cm at widest point on blade.
