Interesting Find-Vintage Bronze Flatware

Description

Flatware is in a non-descript wooden box with three shelves that is lined in a black velvet like fabric.Box is certainly hand made. I also think the pieces were hand forged. In addition to the detailed bronze top of the rosewood handle, there is a decorative floral stamp below the rosewood handle as well. Very intricately detailed.
