46 piece Hanoverian Rattail Pattern Canteen, Sheffield 1966 by Cooper Brothers

 

 

The Service

We are pleased to be offering an excellent 20th Century silver 6 place settings canteen in Hanoverian Rattail Pattern. The service provides for seven pieces per 6 place settings with an additional four table spoons for serving purposes.

All the pieces were made in 1966 by the Sheffield firm of Cooper Brothers & Sons Ltd. The knives are fitted with stainless steel blades. Each piece benefits from being in excellent polished condition with no personalised engravings.

 

Hanoverian Rattail Pattern

Hanoverian Rattail was first in fashion between 1710 and 1730 and has been reproduced since the 1880’s. It was the first flatware pattern in the UK to be used for complete canteens. Due to its elegant lines and proportions it has continued to enjoy great popularity and is probably the most sought after traditional pattern. The front of each piece has a distinctive central ridge, whilst the spoons have the trademark rattail extension to the handle on the reverse side of the bowl.
