Circa 1870 British antique pure silver fish cutlery set of 6 pairs, total weight 624g, John Gilbert

Introducing an antique British cutlery set.

This is a work by John Gilbert of Birmingham, England, from the 1870s.
Although the production years vary between 1872 and 1876, they all have the same design.
This set includes six pairs of knives and forks for fish cutlery, with both handles and blades made of pure silver.
The handle is very simple with a lot of wear and little decoration, but the blade is beautifully decorated, including a fish engraving on the knife.
It comes neatly packed in a wooden tray.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
