ANTIQUE SILVER DESSERT SETS
Although now very rare to find in good condition, silver dessert sets started being produced in the UK during the 18th Century, often with stained ivory handles and plain blades and tines. The majority of sets available to purchase come from the Victorian and Edwardian periods, with mother-of-pearl handles and engraved silver blades and tines being the most desired style. A resurgence in popularity during the 1920’s and 1930’s saw some Art Deco designs being made, and these are also highly sought after today.
