Build Your Own GA Fiddle Pattern Antique Silver Canteen of Cutlery

The Service

This service can be tailor made to suit your own requirements. We can supply the exact number of place setting required from 6 to 24 or more subject to current stock levels. We can also change the structure of the service, so that if more of one particular item is required or none of another, then we can work out a price accordingly.

THE PRICE OF £275 WILL BUY ONE PLACE SETTING consisting of a table spoon, table fork, dessert spoon, dessert fork and teaspoon. A full 60 piece canteen with 12 place settings will cost £275 x 12 = £3300. You can work out the price of a suitable service for your needs using the same principle. Please contact us for further details.

Knives can be supplied as an optional extra either as 20^th century “bone” handled or new silver handled in either Old English Pattern or Fiddle Pattern.

All the spoons and forks were hand wrought in London during the Victorian period by the most important company of silver flatware makers of the period – Chawner & Company – under the leadership of George W Adams (working period 1840 to 1882). All pieces bear his “GA” makers mark.

All pieces are supplied in excellent polished condition with no personalised engravings to them.

Fiddle Pattern

Fiddle Pattern was the dominant flatware pattern of 19th Century Britain. It was by far the most popular pattern from 1810 until 1880. Production was largely discontinued in 1914, as the original dies for hand wrought fiddle pattern were destroyed during the First World War. As the pattern has rarely been made since, the design is distinctively 19th Century and is extremely popular today for people wishing to have antique cutlery.
