336 Piece Silver Canteen for 36 people in Feather Edge, Sheffield 1980 by Fattorini & Sons
The Service
We are pleased to be offering a huge and expansive 20th Century silver cutlery service in Old English with Feather Edge Pattern. The service provides for nine pieces per 36 place settings with an additional 12 table spoons for serving purposes.
This triple canteen provides for all your dining needs for up to 36 people. It even caters for a fish course and/or soup starter. The table spoons are a welcome addition to allow a spread of serving spoons along the table.
The majority of silver flatware and cutlery services cater for only 12 people with the rare exception of an 18 place setting or double service (24 place settings). A triple service of completely matching pieces is a very rare find and there are an incredible 336 pieces.
All the pieces are fully hallmarked for Sheffield 1980 by Fattorini & Sons and benefit from having no personalised engravings to them.
Old English Feather Edge Pattern
Old English Pattern was first introduced circa 1770 and the addition of elegant engraved decoration along the border of the handle was first seen within the first decade of production. The feather edged border gives the pieces an extra feeling of quality and breaks up the plain Old English pattern.
