DESCRIPTION Hefty set of six Victorian silver double struck King's HourGlass pattern table forks with diamond shell heels and level tines. All engraved verso with a crest below an earl's coronet apart from the 1839 example which has only the crest. This is indicative of the family's upwards social movement between 1839 and 1844.
