condition

This Victorian sterling silver flatware service for twelve persons is a superior gauge of silver as to be expected of period silverware. The service is an exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. Full hallmarks struck to the reverse of each piece are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this impressive antique Fiddle pattern silver cutlery set.
