This motif has returned in fashion and is actively collected today. The pattern was discontinued in 1917. The dinner knife is something that we take for granted as part of the table silver. Yet they became a standard item only in the 1890s, and t are patterns made right before WWI that did not have matching knives. The reasons for this seem to number three. One, people frequently carried knives with them so t was little need for a separate knife. Two, and this seems most plausible, everything was cooked to death and had fallen apart by the time dinner was served so t was no real need to cut anything with more than a fork. Three, the technology of the time could not produce a knife that would simultaneously look like silver, keep an edge and not wear terribly. Those knives that survive tend to be towards the end of the Victorian period. They typically have a silverplated blade, usually in the blunt form, and a patterned handle, like the ones offered The 6 knives offered measure about 9 1/4". These are not pieces of new silver. They show the patina of almost 100 years of careful use. T are the light scratches which constitute normal patina. T is no monogram. Silver is softly lustrous. T is so silver loss, except for a tiny spot at the terminus of 2 of the handles, and a bit on the tip of one of the knife blades. The pattern is crisp and clear. I polish all silver before listing on eBay. Please email with any questions before bidding. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AUCTION DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY. BY BIDDING YOU AGREE TO ABIDE BY MY TERMS OF SALE.
