The components of this London made cutlery service have been crafted by Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd in 1947; the components will have been crafted in the same year but due to the hallmarking system the items are struck with the date letters L and M.

The anterior surface of each egg spoon retains the original gilding to the bowls.

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

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