~ Welcome to William Sharpe Antiques ~ 

 

Here today for your consideration we have this superb Georgian twelve piece full sterling silver fruit or dessert cutlery service, made by Aaron Hadfield of Sheffield, c-1833-1837. The set has been produced in the popular Queens pattern and is of very good quality and gauge throughout. The set features a well executed monogram to one side of the handle, with the hallmarks clearly struck throughout both the blades and handles. Condition is good used, with a few minor depressions to some handles and some slight warping to a couple of fork tines. One fork handle has been re-attached at some point with the monogram on the wrong side (per photos), but this can be rectified in skilled hands. A very nice and useful set in one of the most popular flatware designs of the 19th century.

The knives and forks measure 21cm and 16.5cm long respectively, with the set weighing in at 517gms unpacked.

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.
