Late 19th Century British Antique Silver Plate Cutlery Set of 9 Pairs Martin & Hall

We would like to introduce you to an antique British cutlery set.

This was created by Martin Hall of Birmingham, England, around the late 19th century.
This cutlery set contains 18 pieces in total: 9 knives and 9 forks.
The handle dates from about 1850, but the blade is probably from about 1870 and appears to have been replaced along the way.
The handle has a Rococo Revival pattern and the blade is decorated with carved botanical motifs.
Six pairs are in a wooden tray, but three pairs are without cases.


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