Description

This exquisite set of Ivory Handled Cutlery is a true testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of Sheffield silversmiths. Made by the renowned Mappin & Webb—one of the finest names in silversmithing—each knife and fork features a stunning Solid Silver ferrule and cap, complemented by beautifully hand-carved ivory handles. The Fish Eaters & Servers bear Solid Silver Heads. The ivory handles offers a smooth, lustrous finish, with a comforting weight and soft texture that feels perfectly balanced and luxurious in the hand. The handles are not only visually striking but also incredibly ergonomic, offering a tactile, comfortable grip that enhances every dining experience. By far, this is one of the finest examples we have on offer.

The Ferrules & Caps on all pieces are fully hallmarked, including the date letter ‘S’ for 1960, M&W Makers Mark, the Lion Passant, and the Crown, along with the Monarch’s Head which attest to their authenticity and remarkable heritage. The weights and lengths of each piece is listed below:
