The Service

Old English Thread Pattern
Old English Pattern was first introduced circa 1770 and within 10 years had already been tastefully decorated along the handle edges with the addition of a feather edging, beading or thread. The simple border adds discreet decoration to take away the plainness whilst leaving the elegance.
