Rare Cased 7-Day Set having one handle and 7 blades, one for every day of the week. C-1820’s. All blade tangs are marked “Anderson.” This complete set has the days of the week engraved on the top of each blade. The ornately carved natural material handle has an inlaid pattern of “pique work” pins on the front side. Note: Pique work was the art of inlaying tiny silver pins, by hand, into the predrilled holes of the pattern. It was a cottage industry done in homes around the manufacturing city of Sheffield. This artistry was popular from about 1820-1840's. Pique work was performed on horn, pearl, tortoiseshell, ivory and bone. You will not find two identical pieces. Even the pins are set by hand so they are not even in height. These one Handled seven day sets are extremely rare and were produced for a very short period of time, approximately 1820-1840. Further, each locking device is unique to correspond with the specific shaped tang that fits it. You could not lock these blades into the handle of any other similar set. The lined case is leather covered wood. This is a fine, complete and early 7-Day set example.
