These exceptional antique Georgian straight* sterling silver forks have been crafted in the Hanoverian pattern with three tines.
The posterior surface of each antique silver fork handle terminal incorporates the bright cut engraved crest of out of a coronet a griffin's head, all above the monogram initial 'W'.
The anterior surface of each 18th century fork is plain with a pip to the handle terminal.
Such straight examples of antique silver forks with clearly struck hallmarks are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
* "Straight" means all the pieces are made by the same maker in the same year.
