36-piece silver cutlery set of twelve knives, forks and spoons each, coat of arms with falcon claws engraved on handles, silver hallmark and jeweler name “C.A. Krall”. Knife length 25.5 cm, weight of cutlery pieces ca. 2850 g. Black leather case with gold embossed inscription “Falknerhof Greif” on top, lined in magenta colored silk. Dimensions ca. 57 x 30 x 4 cm.
C. A. Krall, founded in 1794, were important gold and silversmiths from Wuppertal-Elberfeld and mainly supplied German nobility.
