Antique Silver Plated Mother of Pearl set of 6 knives.

Landers, Frary & Clark was a prominent American manufacturer of household goods, including cutlery, founded in New Britain, Connecticut. The company was known for producing a wide range of quality products, often incorporating decorative elements and durable materials. Their flatware, particularly pieces with mother-of-pearl handles and sterling silver fittings, was popular during the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries.

Mother-of-pearl, the iridescent inner layer of certain mollusk shells, has been used for centuries to adorn various objects, including cutlery handles. Its natural beauty and unique luster made it a sought-after material for elegant tableware. Sterling silver, an alloy of silver containing 92.5% pure silver, was often used for decorative ferrules and other metal components, adding both durability and aesthetic appeal to the flatware.
