Here is a fine Edwardian, one-date-and-maker set of hand-forged sterling silver Rattail cutlery for 12 people.
Rattail is the oldest of the English designs dating from the early 1700s with the distinctive "rat tail" on the backs of the spoon bowls and forks. This feature developed in an age when craftsmen made spoons in two pieces joining the bowl and the handle together by means of soldering using a tapered tail as additional strength to the joint. This design also features a prominent rib down the front of the handle and continues to be a popular design to the present day.
Thissilver cutlery set comprises:
12 table forks
12 dessert forks
12 tablespoons
12 dessert spoons
Since antique knives rarely survive, we have completed this service with 12 pairs of modern, dishwasher-safe, silver table and dessert knives with stainless steel blades. Knives can be provided with Rattail handles, as shown, or traditional pistol-shaped handles
