Description
A superb early Victorian silver christening set consisting of a fork and a spoon in its original fitted box. They are excellent quality pieces with beautiful foliate decoration, ornate casting and two engraved family crests on the back of the handles.
Both pieces are fully hallmarked for John Gilbert, Birmingham, 1853. They weigh approximately 114g in total.
The set comes in its original silk and velvet lined box, with fitted sections to hold the cutlery. The box is in good condition and the interior is clean and tidy with a few small scuffs and marks around the outside but nothing detrimental and it displays well.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
