Sterling Silver Canteen of Cutlery for Twelve Persons - Antique Victorian

A fine and impressive antique Victorian English sterling silver composite fiddle pattern flatware service for 12 persons - boxed; an addition to our canteen collection

The pieces of this fine and composite antique Victorian sterling silver flatware service for twelve persons have been crafted in the fiddle pattern.

Each spoon and fork has a pip to the terminal and the spoons have rounded heels to the reverse.

The knives have plain handles, subtly deviating from the traditional style as they do not incorporate a pip to the terminal.

This flatware service consists of:

Basic Service:

12 Table knives

12 Table forks

12 Table spoons

12 Dessert knives

12 Dessert forks

12 Dessert spoons

12 Teaspoons

Additional Pieces:

Soup ladle

Pair sauce ladles

The fundamental pieces of flatware have been crafted by Henry Holland of Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater in London, apart from the table forks , serving pieces, and replacement table and dessert knives*.

The pieces listed below are included in this fine service:

Table and dessert knives - Sheffield Assay Office, 2010

Table forks - Samuel Hayne & Dudley Cater, 1851-1852

Soup ladle and sauce ladles - Samuel Smily of Goldsmiths Alliance Ltd, 1867

This impressive canteen of cutlery is fitted to a fine oak lift up lid and well, two drawer canteen box with brass carry and drawer handles.

The box lid is embellished with a central vacant shield shaped cartouche.

The refitted interior of the canteen box is lined with navy velvet.

*Predominately all antique silver canteens have replacement knives as the originals have not stood the test of time.

Condition

The pieces of this impressive antique silver canteen are a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in excellent presentation condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the knives and the reverse of each item are all very clear.

The oak box has been professionally polished by a cabinet maker.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine and impressive Victorian canteen.

Dear Mr Campbell Thank you very much for sending the pearl necklace: it arrived only a couple of days after purchase, beautifully wrapped and packaged, at 8.30am - so you have a first rate courier service! Could I also say how pleasant and how helpful the girl I spoke to on the telephone was. Her enthusiasm for the necklace, and for the quality of your products, decided me when I was not quite sure this was the item I wanted. Cheerfulness, enthusiasm and courtesy are not often encountered in this kind of call. It was a real pleasure!
So congratulations on your staff! Very best wishes TJ G
Cheriton Bishop, Exeter, UKDear Mr Campbell Making purchases from half way round the world is always an interesting experience. You do the best you can and hope. I can say, with no rear of contradiction, that my dealings with AC Silver and Andrew Campbell is certainly worthy of Front Bench status.
The two George III bottle neck rings were of the first quality, and thoroughly described and generously photographed. The transaction itself was smooth and without flaw. Packing and shipping were without incident and arrival was exactly on time.
It was the \'poster child\' for an ideal transaction. Thank you LG, Venerable Wine Paraphenalia,
Reno, Nevada, USA
