Garrard & Co Ltd
Garrards are one of the UK’s most prestigious luxury retailers and held the Royal warrant as Crown Jewellers from 1843. Their name is synonymous with quality and this silver flatware service bears testimony to that fact.
Briefly during the 1980’s and 1990’s, Mappin & Webb were part of the Garrrad & Aspreys group and this will explain why the box bears a Mappin & Webb nameplate, although every piece of silver is marked with Garrards stamp.
Old English Pattern
Old English Pattern was first introduced circa 1770 and has always been a very favoured pattern due to its elegant and simple form. It has been produced continually to the present day with a resurgence of popularity in the early 20th Century.

Presentation
This service is superbly presented in a top quality wooden box with a single lower drawer and the knives slotted in to the lid. Each piece has its own slot to prevent scuffing with its neighbour. The six small serving items don't have a slot, but are located in a compartment at the back of the lower drawer. Furthermore, the tea and coffee spoons are not housed within the box and are instead supplied in two cutlery rolls. The box measures 50cm wide x 41cm deep x 25cm high and both original keys are present.
As with all our canteens, we are happy to send a sample place setting on receipt of a surety payment.
