Extensive hand-forged Queen's pattern sterling silver flatware service for 24, from the early Victorian period. All pieces are in excellent condition with lovely crisp detail to the pattern and made by Joseph and Albert Savory of London in 1840 (except where shown), all pieces are presented in a shaped fitted mahogany canteen.
Each piece is engraved with the crest of a greyhound's head is for the Prigion, Prujean and Walker families.
Queen's pattern silver cutlery is one of the most popular of the elaborate antique silver cutlery patterns and has been made continuously since the early 19th century. Shells, foliate scrolls and flowers give Queen's a graceful elegance. The lavish decoration requires a thick gauge of silver which ensures a heavier weight than plain cutlery patterns.
Like King's, this pattern is credited to the silversmithing brothers John and Henry Lias and introduced about 1825, in the reign of George IV.
This superb silver cutlery set comprises:
24 table forks
24 tablespoons
24 dessert forks (1 x 1845)
24 dessert spoons (1 x George Adams, 1871)
24 teaspoons (1 x 1836; 1 x William Chawner, 1831)
5 salt ladles
1 large soup ladle
12 table knives
12 dessert knives
The silver-handled table and dessert knives with steel blades are original to the cutlery set. Spoon and fork makers rarely made knives as well, and in this case the Savory Brothers commissioned Abraham Dyson to make the knives.
24 table knives
24 dessert knives (3 x Queen's Rosette by Wm Eaton, 1832)
