Item: Canteen (72-piece) Description: King's Pattern (12 place setting) Hallmark: London 1851-80 by George Adams Weight: 4036 grams (130 troy ounces) - weighable silver i.e. this does not include knives.. Pieces: 12 off table & dessert forks (London 1880), table & dessert spoons (London 1876), table & dessert knives (London 1851). N.B. A set of 12 teaspoons by Chawner & Company (a mixture of George Adams, Mary & William Chawner) are available to complement this canteen. Comments: A rare opportunity to buy a top quality Victorian canteen in one of the most sought after patterns and by the premier maker of the period. A brief biography of Chawner & Co. can be found by clicking here. The presence of period knives by the same maker is as a major bonus. These knives benefit from having replacement stainless steel blades. The double-struck (decoration on both sides) nature of King's Pattern ensures a hefty gauge of silver throughout. It was considered an elite pattern and therefore this made-up canteen sports an interesting array of engraved crests and initials. This canteen oozes quality. Price: SOLD Ref. No.: MC/4879 |
