Albert Pattern Silver Butter Knife, 1847

Named in honour of Queen Victoria's consort, Albert pattern is an attractive variant of the King's pattern family of flatware designs and this silver butter knife is a fine example in excellent crisp condition.

Made by Elizabeth Eaton in the early Victorian period, this good-sized master butter knife has a nice hefty weight in the hand and the engraved crest to the front terminal is indicative of its rich heritage and top quality.
