$650.00
Antique early 1800's Dutch .833 solid silver, Jesus and the 12 apostles hors d'oeuvres or cheese forks. Eleven of the forks are by the same maker(H. Hooijkaas) and two similar are by Hendrik Hoffmann. The eleven are 4 7/8" long and the other two are 4 5/8". Total weight of the set is 184.8 grams. All pieces are marked with HH maker's mark and Dutch sword mark used from 1814-1865 to indicate .833 solid silver. From what I can see, all apostles and Jesus are present. The two different ones may have been replacements for originals. Please enlarge all pics for best details.
