Set of antique hand-forged set of Old English sterling silver cutlery for 18 people and presented in its original wooden canteen box. All pieces are in fine condition and made by Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater, one of the premier Victorian silversmiths, in London in 1894 unless otherwise shown.

Originating in the 1750s, Old English pattern with its simple clean lines, showing a single thumbnail to the reverse of the bowl and the pip on the front of the forks and the back of the spoons, is the definitive British flatware pattern and remains the most popular pattern through to the present day.

This Victorian silver cutlery set comprises:

38 table forks (2 x 1896)
18 dessert forks
18 tablespoons
18 dessert spoons
18 teaspoons (various dates & makers)
18 fish forks
18 fish knives
1 soup ladle
1 basting spoon
2 gravy ladles (1891)

Since antique knives rarely survive this service is completed with 19 pairs of modern silver table and dessert knives, with stainless steel blades making them dishwasher safe.
