Rare Cased 7-Day Set having one handle and 7 blades, one for every day of the week. C-1830’s. The tangs are stamped “W(crown) R SAVIGNY” (W(crown)R" dating the manufacturing date to between 1830-37 for King William of England. This complete set has wedge blades. The ornately carved natural material handle has an inlaid pattern of “pique work” pins on the front side around the escutcheon plate. 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 numbered to correspond with the specific shaped tang that fits it. In this case the number is "13” which is on the tangs. You could not lock these blades into the handle of any other similar set. The lined case is leather covered wood. This is one of the finest, early 7-Day sets I have ever seen.
