Description
Superb and extremely rare set of twelve silver handled knives, dating from the Georgian period. The handles are hallmarked silver with squared corners and reeded panels. The size suggests that these were a set of six dinner knives and six entree/cheese/dessert knives. Georgian knives are rarely found, as the early blades were steel and consequently corroded over time. The blades have been replaced at some point with stainless steel, making this wonderful set once again usable. There is a handsome engraved crest to all twelve knives. A wonderful and practical addition to an antique silver flatware canteen. Maker:- Samuel Pemberton
