The components of this service have been crafted by the Sheffield silversmith and flatware maker Ollivant & Botsford Ltd between 1937-1941; the pieces will have been crafted in less years but due to the hallmarking system the items are struck with the date letters u and y.

This vintage silver service can be purchased with appropriate pattern knives if so desired; for further information please contact Andrew Campbell directly.

These impressive examples of Art Deco silverware are supplied in felt cutlery rolls; which not only protect the items in storage but significantly reduces tarnishing.
