In the 19th century, the Fiddle pattern emerged as a popular design, notable for its simplicity and absence of distinguishable shoulders. It is also known as the Oar pattern. Originating in France, this pattern featured terminals on both forks and spoons that turned up. In contrast, English versions of the pattern were crafted to incorporate the successful design elements of the Old English pattern, reflecting positive changes in flatware design.
