84-Piece Silver Fiddle Pattern Canteen, London 1820-44 by William Eaton
The Service
We are pleased to be offering a superb same maker Fiddle pattern canteen with 12 place settings. This silver service provides for seven pieces to every twelve place settings.
All the spoons and forks were hand wrought made in London by William Eaton in the late Georgian and early Victorian periods (between 1820 and 1844). They all benefit from being in excellent polished condition with no personalised engravings to them.
The knives are all modern with plain, Sheffield hallmarked silver handles to complement the fiddle pattern.
Fiddle Pattern
Fiddle Pattern was the dominant flatware pattern of 19th Century Britain. It was by far the most popular pattern from 1810 until 1880. Production was largely discontinued in 1914, as the original dies for hand wrought fiddle pattern were destroyed during the First World War. As the pattern has rarely been made since, the design is distinctively 19th Century and is extremely popular today for people wishing to have antique cutlery.
