Cased Antique Sterling Silver Fish Servers, Birmingham 1874, John Gilbert
Cased pair of antique English sterling silver fish servers beautifully decorated with the blade engraved with fish, all very nicely done.
Blade and tines hallmarked from Birmingham in 1874, the handles Birmingham 1869, quite common for handles to be a differing date, blades, tines and handles all carry the makers mark of John Gilbert.
In immaculate order and judging by their condition these have been seldom used, the case however, lid detached from base and front closure clip is missing.
Knife measures 338mm and fork measures 250mm.
A quite superb quality set.
