On offer is an antique Mother of Pearl and sterling silver fruit knife, fully hallmarked for Sheffield, 1918, with the maker’s mark of John Yeomans Cowlishaw. Renowned for producing high quality pocket and fruit knives during the late Victorian and early 20th century periods, Cowlishaw’s work is appreciated for its fine craftsmanship and practical elegance.

This folding fruit knife features a beautifully polished Mother of Pearl handle with an oval cartouche, complemented by its original sterling silver collar and blade. Measuring approximately 6 inches when open and 3.5 inches when closed, it remains in good antique condition with honest signs of age and use. There is a fine hairline crack to the handle and expected surface wear to the blade, both consistent with a well cared for piece over a century old.

A fine example of a Sheffield sterling silver fruit knife, combining quality craftsmanship with the timeless appeal of Mother of Pearl.
