About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive pair of antique Victorian English sterling silver Newton pattern fish servers - boxed; an addition to our silver flatware collection. This exceptional pair of antique Victorian sterling silver fish servers consists of a serving knife and fork, crafted in the Newton pattern. The blade of the knife and the drop of the fork have a rounded shaped form; the fork features four tines. The anterior and posterior surface of the knife is embellished with pierced and bright cut engraved scrolling leaf ornamentation paralleling the shape of the blade, accented with a segmented palmette design to the lower portion. The drop of the fork is ornamented with further pierced and bright cut engraved scrolling leaf designs, reflecting the same design as the knife blade. These boxed sterling silver fish servers are fitted with fine and impressive hallmarked sterling silver handles, ornamented with embossed scrolling leaf and palmette designs, all on a matte background. These antique fish servers are fitted to the impressive original hinged leatherette box with satin and velvet lined interior. These exceptional Newton pattern servers have been crafted by the collectable, renowned silversmith and flatware maker George Adams of Chawner & Co; the pieces will have been crafted in fewer year but due to the hallmarking system the handles are is struck with the date letter 't' (1874) and the blades bear 'A' (1876).
