Antique Flatware Set f 12 Mother of Pearl Silver Plate Box Desert Fruit (4538)

Antique silver plate and mother of pearl set of flatware in original fitted box / canteen. Made in England, late 19th - early 20th century. Measurements: Box is a little over 11 1/2 inches X 10 1/4 X 2 3/4 inches. Knives just over 8 1/8 inch long. Forks 6 3/4 inches long.

Gorgeous wooden canteen or chest for holding cutlery. Burl walnut lined with blue velvet. Top of lid has a large brass plate, intended for being engraved with a monogram or family crest.

Two levels of cutlery - 6 knives and 6 forks held in each. Set could be used for desert/fruit/luncheon or fish. Very solid, well designed set.

Quiet elegance without an excess of adornment, which allows the strenght of the simple folded silver bands joining blade/tyne to handle, the subtle design of the forks and the marvellous beauty of natural mother of pearl to shine through. Some of the pieces have a black fish depicted, which hints that the set might have been used for fish (although the knives are not classic fish knife form).

All blades and forks have pseudo hallmarks - see'photos. Has a key, which might/not be original, but the lock works. Add Me to Your Favorite Sellers. Feel free to ask question.
