Regular price
$505.00
Presented is an English fish set for 9 with silver plate blades and tines, celluloid handles, and sterling silver ferrules. The set was produced 1906. The sterling cuffs are fully hallmarked, with the lion passant for sterling, the crown for the city of Sheffield, the date letter “O” for the year 1906, and “JAS” for the maker. I do not know who the maker is.
Each piece has celluloid handles. The blades of the knives and tines of the forks are silver plate. The blades are marked “EPNS, Grand.” The blades of the knives and bowls of the forks are decorated with an engraved floral design. There are 9 forks and 10 knives.
The plating on all pieces is in excellent condition. Further, there is no separation between the blades or tines and handle on any of the pieces, no loss to plating, no dents, no monograms, and no monogram removals.
The fish set is presented in a fitted wooden storage chest with an unmonogrammed sterling silver shield-form plaque on the lid. The box, which has a gorgeous wine-colored tufted silk lining, is in great condition, with no warping of the wood.
