About This Piece

An antique set of six French sterling silver lamb cutlet or bone holders — known in French as Manches à Côtelette. Decorated with acanthus leaves and small floral swags, the set displays a lovely warm patina. The clamp holds the bone while the diner grips the silver handle, keeping hands clean at table. Pure French, pure luxury — these holders elevate dining to another level entirely. Presented in their original box for protection and storage.
