Hand-forged Old English silver cutlery for 12 by George Jackson & David Fullerton

Hand-forged Old English silver cutlery for 12 by George Jackson & David Fullerton

Sold

This Edwardian set of cutlery for 12 people was all made by premier silversmiths George Jackson & David Fullerton in 1904 with the exception of two pieces made in 1903. Each finely hand-forged silver piece is hand engraved with an original family crest attributed to the Wyatt family and depicting a demi lion passant holding an arrow, out of a mural coronet and bearing the motto Vi Attamen Honore meaning 'with force but honour'. 

The set is in exceptionally good condition and suitable for daily use.

Old English is the classic and definitive flatware pattern that was first produced in the middle of the 18th century and continues to this day. Sets made at the end of the Victorian era and through to the end of the First World War represent the zenith of quality in both workmanship and gauge of silver used in the making, and partners Jackson & Fullerton produced some of the finest quality silver flatware of the period in most of the traditional patterns.
