The pieces of this silver flatware set, including the original knives, have been crafted by the Sheffield silversmiths Roberts & Belk Ltd in 1992.

The knives are fitted with the original blades and bear the mark 'Roberts & Belk Ltd, Furnival Works, Sheffield, England'.

This vintage canteen of cutlery is supplied in felt cutlery rolls; which not only protect the items in storage but significantly reduce tarnishing.

* "Straight" means all the pieces are made by the same maker in the same year.

This vintage flatware set is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

Each piece has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition.

The bead pattern is very sharp and the engraved decoration is very crisp.

Full hallmarks struck to the reverse of each piece are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine and impressive silver beaded cutlery set.
