Here today for your consideration we have this superb Georgian sterling silver cutlery set, with pieces from some of the best London makers of the time. The set is a complete setting for four including table/soup spoons, dessert spoons, dinner forks and entree forks. The breakdown of makers and dates is as below:

Samuel Godbehere, Edward Wigan & James Boult, 1806 (1)
 Stephen Adams II, 1807 (1)
 Richard Crossley & George Smith IV, 1809 (2)

Overall length: 22cm; total weight: 219gms

Condition is good throughout, with no major damage to note. The pattern is single-struck to each piece and is in reasonably good order, with some minor wear commensurate with age. Each piece features a matching crest to the face, which is in good order. The hallmarks are about 70% overall, with some better than others. The fork tines are in good order and the spoon bowls without major dents. A lovely Georgian sterling silver flatware service for the table.

Sterling silver offered at William Sharpe Antiques is original and authentic, showing signs of use over its life. Unless expressly stated above, all pieces are free from major structural damage. However, normal signs of use including shallow depressions, fine scratches, and minor pattern and hallmark wear should be expected. All pieces (unless expressly stated above) have undertaken a very light polish with respect to the original patina, and a decision for further polishing will be left to the new custodian. I have a large network in which I can currently source silver, so if there is a special piece you are looking for, please don't hesitate to get in contact, either through eBay or through my Facebook page.
