This antique silver cutlery service is supplied in felt cutlery rolls; which not only protect the items in storage but significantly reduces tarnishing.
* "Straight" means all the pieces are made by the same maker in the same year; straight services are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
** During this period, before the innovation of soup spoons, the versatile table spoon shaped bowl would have been utilised for soup.
