Old 24p English Silver Mother of Pearl Fish Dessert Set

Presented is a fantastic 24 piece fish and dessert or fruit set made in England during the 1850s to the 1880s. The blades and tines are silver plated over a carbon steel base and the blades are beautifully hand engraved with bright cut flowers. The handles are made of polished mother of pearl and the silver plated collars on the handles are decorated in classic bands of design.

This set includes:
6 Fish Knives: 8 inches long.
6 Fish Forks: 6 3/4 inches long.
6 Fruit or Dessert Knives: 7 1/2 inches long.
6 Fruit or Dessert Forks: 6 1/4 inches long.

Each blade is marked EPNS for silver plate.

This set is in its original fitted silk and velvet lined wooden box. The box is still in very good shape and will do an excellent job in protecting these pieces. The top piece of wood on the box has shrunk creating a split. The box is still strong.

This set is in excellent condition, especially for its age. There are no dents, no breaks, no splits and no repairs.
