An elegant piece of American sterling flatware, this Daniel Low & Co. sterling silver lemon fork features an elaborate scrolling pattern with raised decorative borders running nearly the full length of the handle. The distinctive two-tine fork was designed for serving lemon slices and other small garnishes—a specialized Victorian-era table utensil that makes an appealing addition to a collection of unusual sterling serving pieces.
The reverse is clearly marked “STERLING PAT. 1891” along with “DANIEL LOW & CO.” The 1891 patent marking provides an especially useful historical detail and adds collector interest.
