Hand-forged Fiddle & Thread silver cutlery

Set of Victorian hand-forged silver Fiddle & Thread pattern cutlery for 12 people comprising:

12 table forks
12 dessert forks
12 tablespoons
12 dessert spoons
12 teaspoons.

Since antique silver knives rarely survive, the set is completed with 12 new silver table knives and 12 new silver dessert knives all of which have stainless steel blades and are dishwasher safe.

With just a simple thread design added to the simplicity of the Fiddle pattern, this is one of the most popular variants of the style dating from about 1805 and still produced today. It was particularly popular in Colonial America. The knife styles that best suit this pattern are English Thread and Cannon.
