Description
This exquisite set of Pearl Handled Cutlery is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Sheffield silversmiths. Made by the renowned William Sansom, a name synonymous with exceptional quality, each Knife & Fork features a stunning Solid Silver Head and Ferrule, and beautifully hand-carved mother-of-pearl handles. The rich, deep hues in the mother-of-pearl give this set an unparalleled depth and lustre, making them a work of art that is both functional and visually striking. This is no doubt, one of the nicest examples we have on offer today.
The knives and forks are fully hallmarked, including the date letter ‘S’ for 1838, the Lion Passant, and the Crown, confirming their authenticity and remarkable heritage.
Each piece bears the Makers Mark W.S, for the sought after William Sansom.
The Knives measure 19.5 cm in length and weigh 40 grammes each, while the Forks measure 16.5 cm and weigh 35 grammes each— perfectly proportioned for afternoon dining, offering both elegance and practicality. The Presentation Case is included with this set.
