Specialist note

Samuel Bardet, like many Augsburg goldsmiths, specialised in these travelling cutlery sets commissioned by German royal and aristocratic families, after the habit started by French courtiers in the late 17th century who were wary of being poisoned with arsenic mixed in salt and spices.
