Boxed 124 piece Dubarry Canteen

124 piece Silver Dubarry Pattern 12 place Canteen, Sheffield 1992/3

The Service

This is an excellent 124 piece canteen of silver in a very sought after 20^th Century Pattern. The service provides for ten pieces for each of the 12 place settings with additional serving items. 

Every piece is hallmarked Sheffield 1992/3 by Carrs. The table and dessert knives are fitted with stainless steel blades that are engraved “Carrs Sheffield England”. 

The service benefits from being in excellent polished condition with no personalised engravings to the pieces.

Du Barry Pattern

This pattern was first produced in the early 20^th century for use in the first class dining rooms aboard the Titanic. Its inspiration comes from the designs of the most important furniture maker of the 18^th century – Thomas Chippendale. It has a simple elegance that successfully treads the line between stylish and plain.

Components

This 124-piece service consists of the following:

Total weight of weighable silver 5860 grams (188.4 troy ounces) plus 24 knives.

Condition

Excellent polished condition. Mint and probably never used.

Presentation

This canteen is offered within its original Carrs wooden 3 drawer box. A major benefit of this type of box is that all pieces have an individual slot which prevents the items scuffing against each other. The box has a central brass plate and brass strengtheners to the corners. There is a very minor dent to one rear upright edge of the box (see final photo) and a few small scuffs to the front - otherwise this service is immaculate!.

As with all the canteens available from our web-site, we are happy to send a sample place setting for approval, on receipt of a fully refundable surety payment, prior to purchasing this canteen.
