About the Item

Fine, hand-forged Victorian silver cutlery set in the Bead pattern with all pieces made by one of the 19th century's finest silver cutlery makers, George Adams, in 1870. Fitted in a wooden canteen box, this silver cutlery set is in wonderful condition, with very sharp beading and hallmarks. The prongs on the forks are long and robust and this is an exceptionally good example of the Bead pattern. This hand-forged silver cutlery set comprises: 12 table forks 12 tablespoons 12 dessert forks 12 dessert spoons 12 teaspoons 1 soup ladle 1 basting spoon 3 salt spoons 1 sauce ladle Sugar tongs Since antique knives rarely survive, this cutlery set is completed with 12 pairs of modern matching silver table and dessert knives, with stainless steel blades making them suitable for putting in the dishwasher.
