DESCRIPTION |
Twelve of the finest Georgian silver Old English & double Thread pattern dinner knives with new (never used) stainless steel scimitar shaped blades mirror finished. Thick silver handles, eleven engraved to one side with a stag crest and one with a monogram shown far left in some of the images. Although magnificent to behold, the greatest pleasure given by these knives is from the feel. Georgian cutlery at its finest, the weight and balance are perfect. The pitch loaded handles are not suitable for dishwashers but will simply require wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap after use. |
