We are pleased to offer a premier quality Edwardian silver 12 place settings canteen in Kings Pattern with diamond heel. This is a straight service which means that all the spoons and forks (except one teaspoon) were made in the same year by the same maker (i.e were supplied together when new). The cutlery set provides eight pieces per 12 place settings with three large serving pieces.

This service really is of the very highest quality and all the spoons and forks were hand-wrought in the traditional manner in London’s most important flatware making workshop of the early 20th century. Each piece bears the same engraved crest to the front (except for the single older teaspoon that bears a slightly different crest which is not easy to spot).

The soup spoons are in the traditional oval bowled table spoon style and a benefit of this canteen are the dozen egg spoons which are just as well suited for use with coffee. For serving purposes, there are a lovely pair of sauce ladles and a magnificent 12" long spoon - all matching the rest of the service.

The silver handled knives are modern accompaniments because antique knives rarely survive in practicable condition. These knives are fitted with stainless steel blades and are hallmarked London 1963 by CJ Vander.

King's Pattern

King's Pattern is the most well known of the popular decorative patterns. It was based on an 18th century French design and became fashionable amongst the wealthy in the early years of the 19th Century. The design encompasses a shell to both sides of the handle terminal and reverse of the bowl, scrolls down the handle shaft with a honeysuckle motif to the centre. The double-struck nature of the pattern (i.e. pattern on both sides) ensures that a good gauge of silver was used in manufacture and therefore the majority of London-made pieces in this pattern have a hefty feel in the hand. The best quality King's Pattern was made in London, where it was hand-wrought and has a high relief to the decoration. Machine made King's Pattern from Sheffield is lower in relief and generally has a less interesting appearance and lighter weight.
