VICTORIAN MOTHER OF PEARL &SILVER CASED CUTLERY SERVICE |
This is a gorgeous Mother of Pearl and Silver Plate cased service for six dating to around 1890. The set is quite beautiful and is in a lovely wood case lined with velvet and silky material. This set is marked on the knives GB & Co. (see photos), and the knives are engraved on both sides of the blade. The knives measure approx. 8" long, the forks 6-5/8" long, and the collars are unmarked so we must presume they are silver plate. The set is in very, very good condition with a small amount of wear on MOP handles, and the wood case measures approx. 11-1/4" x 9-1/4" x 2-1/4" high and shows some wear/scratching, and a shrinkage crack across the top as seen in the photos. If you love Mother of Pearl cutlery as much as I do, be sure to check my other auctions for more, and anyone will certainly save with combined shipping if they purchase more than one lot. I am sure this would sell for a handsome price at any antique show or shop, but with my low opening bid and NO RESERVE someone could score a huge bargain !! Don't miss out...bid now !!
