About the Item
Set of 2 Elkington & Co. English sterling silver fish serving fork and knife from 1886 (Victorian era) with ornate engravings. The fork measures 10 1/4'' in length while the knife measures 13'' in length. Total weight is 10 troy ounces and hallmarks are shown.
Elkington & Co. are one of the most important names in English silver. They began life in Birmingham as a company of silversmiths in 1836, and experimented with improving gilding techniques. By 1838 they had discovered and patented a new way to electroplate one metal onto the surface of another. The company received financial backing from Josiah Mason in 1842 and was extremely successful. It introduced electrotyping as a new method of production for silver. Elkington & Co exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 with enormous success.
Elkington held Royal Warrants for Queen Victoria, King Edward VI, King George V, King Edward VIII and King George VI. The Elkington & Co. name is still in use today as manufacturers under the auspices of British Silverware Ltd.
