The fundamental pieces of this service have been crafted by the collectable, renowned silversmith and flatware maker George Adams of Chawner & Co in 1846.
This antique silver service can be purchased with knives if so desired, either a traditional Thread and Shell pattern or Fiddle Thread and Shell pattern can be arranged.
This antique flatware service is supplied in felt cutlery rolls; which not only protect the items in storage but significantly reduces tarnishing.
* "Straight" means all the pieces are made by the same maker in the same year.
Condition
This Fiddle Thread and Shell pattern flatware set is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.
The pattern decoration is very sharp and the bright cut engraved crests are all very crisp.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this impressive example of antique German silverware.
