The Service
We are offering for sale an excellent late Victorian silver 12 place settings canteen in Bead Pattern. The service provides for 8 pieces per 12 place settings with a good selection of serving items.
This is a straight and complete service, with all pieces original to the canteen and hallmarked for the same date and maker. The pieces have a good hefty feel in the hand with the bonus of having never been engraved.
The knives and carving set are all bone handled.
Bead Pattern
Bead pattern is a very popular pattern because it treads the fine line between a plain and an ornate pattern. The shape of the handles is Old English pattern with an attractive border of beading to both sides (double-struck). Bead pattern was first in fashion during the 1770/80’s and was revived in the late 19th century.
