Who is the maker of dessert knives?

Postby Ubaranda » Sun May 18, 2014 4:44 pm

I have two French dessert knives made in Paris in 1819-1838. Maybe anybody knows who is the maker JB?
Thanks in advance.

You show nice, crisp pictures of the marks.

The maker of your dessert knives is J. Boitin, cutler, working in Paris at 29, boulevard Poissonnière. The mark was registered in 1815-1816, and the maker was still listed in 1822. No end of activity date is given. See Arminjon, V. I, no. 01557, p. 175.
