The Service

Every piece is hallmarked for Sheffield between 1995 and 1999 by JO (almost certainly a retailer using their own sponsor’s mark on a canteen made by William Turner of Sheffield - the table and dessert knives are fitted with stainless steel blades that are engraved “William Turner Master Cutlers Sheffield”.
The service benefits from being in near mint polished condition with no personalised engravings to the pieces.
Du Barry Pattern
This pattern was first produced in the early 20th 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 18th century – Thomas Chippendale. It has a simple elegance that successfully treads the line between stylish and plain.
