Description
On offer today is a beautiful set of Sterling Silver Table Knives bearing the Old English Thread Pattern. As the images show, the set is in great condition for its age, a timeless pattern that can be matched with most canteens.
Each knife is fully hallmarked for 1799 with The Lion Passant, Monarch’s Head (George III) and the date stamp E for 1799. A true testament to excellent craftsmanship. Manufactured by the very sought after Joseph Taylor – signified by the IT Makers Mark. The handles are in great condition as the images show and look fantastic. Hallmarks can be seen to be slightly rubbed on some pieces but still readable. Blades marked ‘Gilliam London’.
The Knives measure 28CMS long and weigh 95 Grammes each.
This set would grace anyone’s home. A functional lot in a highly attractive pattern that cannot be replicated today. A phenomenal set as a gift that would doubtless cost an awful lot in a retail outlet today.
