Sterling Silver Fish Service for Eighteen Persons - Antique Victorian

£2,950.00

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Victorian English sterling silver Lily pattern fish cutlery set for eighteen persons - boxed; an addition to our dining silverware collection

SKU C7778

This exceptional antique Victorian sterling silver silver flatware set for eighteen persons has been crafted in the Lily pattern.


The blade of each knife has a broad incurved shaped form and the forks have four tines.


The surface of the fork drops and the knife blades are each embellished with impressive pierced and engraved decoration, incorporating a fish motif amongst paralleling scrolling leaf designs.


The surface of each fork and knife handle is ornamented with the classic Lily pattern ornamentation, including a curvilinear organic design to the border and terminal; often this style of handle will be filled, however these are solid sterling silver.


Twelve places of this exceptional fish knife and fork set are fitted to a hinged oak wood presentation box with a velvet and satin lined interior, in addition to brass fittings.


The interior of the cover bears the retailer's mark 'Successor to Kirk & Co, Wainwrights, 7 Parker St, Liverpool'.


The further six place settings are supplied in felt cutlery rolls; which not only protect the items in storage but significantly reduces tarnishing.


Maker: John Gilbert

Date: 1874

This antique fish service is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The bright cut engraved decoration is all very crisp.

The original box has been professionally polished by a cabinet maker.

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


Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of each item of this boxed Lily pattern fish set.
