Antique Early Metalware 18thc Fruitwood & Steel Flesh Fork. English C1760-80.

One of the best early flesh forks , I have bought in a long time....it has an attractive shaped turned fruitwood handle, with a nicely turned finial....at the base of the handle is a quality brass terminal with incised line decoration.... the lower stem and prongs are made of polished steel and match the terminal with incised line decoration....it has gained a very good patination and colour and is in excellent condition.
