Boxed 60 piece SILVER HANOVERIAN RATTAIL SILVER CANTEEN CUTLERY,

Sheffield 2006/7 by J Dixon & Sons

 

The Service

We are pleased to be offering an immaculate, nearly new boxed silver canteen of cutlery in the very popular Hanoverian Rattail.  This beautifully presented service provides for seven pieces per 8 place settings with four serving spoons

This is a straight (same date & maker) service with all the pieces benefitting from being in excellent condition with no personalised engravings.

 

Hanoverian Rattail Pattern

Hanoverian Rattail was first in fashion between 1710 and 1730 and has been reproduced since the 1880’s. It was the first flatware pattern in the UK to be used for complete canteens. Due to its elegant lines and proportions it has continued to enjoy great popularity and is probably the most sought after traditional pattern. The front of each piece has a distinctive central ridge, whilst the spoons have the trademark rattail extension to the handle on the reverse side of the bowl.
