The pieces of this fine, antique Victorian straight* sterling silver cutlery service for ten persons have been crafted in King's pattern.

The components of this antique service have been crafted by the collectable, renowned silversmith Charles Boyton II in 1868; the components will have been crafted in the same year but due to the hallmarking system the items are struck with the date letters m and n.

This flatware service can be purchased with King's pattern knives if desired; for further information please contact Andrew Campbell directly.

This impressive Kings pattern cutlery 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.

Date: 1868

This antique cutlery set is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The Kings pattern cutlery ornamentation is very sharp.

Full hallmarks struck to the reverse of each piece are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine and impressive Victorian canteen.
