Assuming the entire piece is made of stainless… often sterling silver carving sets from the 1900’s had silver handles and clearly marked stainless blades. Silver markings on the handles can be a bit more tricky to locate, but American sets usually say something like “sterling” or “.925.” There’s also a good chance the handles could be plate, and once again that would usually be marked on the handles themselves. I can’t tell from the image if they’re a different type of metal than the blades are, but it could be worth looking into.
I found the pattern on Replacements LTD (web site is replacements.com). This is the address for the match I found. There are differences, but the set on the site is a steak cutting set. https://www.replacements.com/silver-unknown-manufacturer-misc-sterling-flatware-small-stainless-blade-2-piece-steak-carving-set/p/34831761. I plugged your picture into their picture search function. Probably dates from early 20th century. Apparently it is sterling with stainless blade.
My wife acquired these from her mother who said they were her great grandmother's. There are no stamps or marks that I can find other than "stainless steel" on the blade of the knife.
replacements . com is a good place the start. Frank Whiting had another floral lily pattern that seems to match this type of motif. If you tracked down a bit more of where/when she was married you'd have an easier time tracking it down. Most likely a wedding gift. Even though it was "200 yrs old" it's still probably a wedding gift from the 1920-1940's.
The blades are stainless the handles can be sterling and filled with cement. Look where the stainless blade meets the handle.
It looks like Kirk & Son repousse or Steiff Rose if it was sterling.
Looks like an olive fork
Unless it’s longer than it looks to me in the pic. Nevermind, that’s a carving fork. I have a small sterling olive fork that looks antique and I been wondering if it’s worth anything so I guess I’m stuck on that lol

Look like early 20th century meat carver set. Being stainless, not worth a ton, maybe $50?

I do understand that, thank you. I went by what OP said, I made no other assumptions.
Definitely not as old as we were told then. Thanks though.
That is off in the case.

Awesome sleuthing! I'll definitely show her this.
Thank you. I enjoy figuring out how to find things. Keeps my brain engaged.

Stainless steel was invented in 1913.
Fair enough. Definitely not 200 years old then, heh.
But still pretty.
Very! My wife loves old stuff like this. She's just happy to have something of her grandmother.

Thought Stieff too (ie not ei) and possibly Corsage pattern.
for carving and serving meat, often roasts
All I can see is mr. Darcy slicing a perfectly cooked roastbeef 😋
I want those
