86pc English Sterling Silver Hanoverian Style Rat Tail Flatware Set
Presented is a very fine quality, 86 piece English sterling silver flatware set. This is a married set, so although the pieces match and are in the same pattern, they have different date letters and different makers, such as Tiffany & Company, Robert Ensko Inc, Crichton Brothers and Peter Guille. This is a good weight set. This is a fairly modern set made during the 20th century but done in the Hanoverian or Queen Anne style of the 18th century. The pieces have a classical rat-tail accent on the reverse side where the handle meets the base. The dinner knives, luncheon knives, 6 of the salad forks, the soup spoons and the place spoons all have an R monogram on the back of their handle. All of the knives have stainless steel blades.
- 12 Dinner Knives: 9 1/2 inches long.

- 6 Dinner Forks: 7 5/8 inches long.
- 12 Salad Forks: 7 inches long.

This set is in excellent overall condition. There is minor wear commensurate with age and light use but there are no dents, no breaks, no monogram removals and no repairs.
