ITEM DESCRIPTION:
An incredibly beautiful sterling silver flatware set containing 115 different pieces of beautiful handmade sterling silver flatware. The pieces are by a high-end European English designer, with a delicate pattern engraved on each piece. Each piece has the PL initials of the designer stamped on it. It appears that it was made, based on our research, in approximately the late 1800s in England.

The blades have the name Sheffield on them. So it appears that the silver maker or designer hired Sheffield as they were one of the highest quality blade makers around, and they made the blades for the knives with Sheffield's imprint on it. The pieces all have not only the marking of the silver maker and high-end designer PL but also have the 925 sterling silver mark stamped into the piece. The entire blades and the entire knives of the fish knives are all complete sterling.

The set comes with five full 12-piece place settings of dinner forks, dinner knives, fish knives, serving forks, and espresso spoons, as well as an 11-piece setting of large soup spoons. In addition, the set comes with settings of 4 teaspoons, 6 fish forks, 6 salad knives, 6 bouillon spoons, 6 appetizer forks, 6 butter knives, 1 serving knife, 1 serving sauce spoon, 1 pair of serving tongs, and 1 large ladle spoon that may be used to serve beverages or soup. This set, in addition to the other pieces, comes with a very beautiful antique-made set of 6 ice cream spoons which are extraordinarily rare to come across!

The pattern on each piece is actually extraordinary. It has extraordinary detail throughout every piece. They're engraved not only entirely on the front, but also on the back of each piece as well. There is a space on each one to put one's initials in a monogram if one so chooses. This is one of the nicer, earlier, oldest sterling silver flatware complete sets we have seen, and one of the more beautiful designs.

Again, this design appears to be approximately 130 years old and is overall in exceptionally beautiful mint condition. The total weight of the entire set is approximately 250 oz, meaning that with silver being approximately $20.50 an ounce, the silver value is approximately $4,800.01 of the more beautiful sets that certainly cannot be reproduced. If somebody is looking for a beautiful set of sterling silver flatware, I cannot imagine one nicer than this complete set.
