Knife

1929–30
Not on view
Tétard Frères was a prestigious Paris silver manufacturer that specialized in tablewares. Bizouard, the firm’s principal designer, was responsible for creating a number of flatware settings. The fragility of this set, certainly among the most elegant, suggests that it was conceived as a dessert service. The glass elements were produced by Baccarat.
