Circa 1900 English Antique Mother-of-Pearl Handle Dessert Cutlery Set (12 Pairs), Sterling Silver Ornamentation, John Round & Son, in Wooden Case

This is a full set of 12 pairs (24 pieces) of dessert cutlery with mother-of-pearl handles, crafted by the prestigious "John Round & Son Ltd," a leading workshop in Sheffield, England, around 1900. The luster of the mother-of-pearl, which transitions gracefully from pure white to iridescent hues, catches the eye, as do the three-dimensional geometric reliefs engraved on the sterling silver ferrules. The blades are adorned with delicate hand-engraved flowing floral motifs and geometric patterns, characteristic of the Art Nouveau period. A luxurious 12-pair set that will elegantly grace afternoon tea or post-dinner dessert times with large groups. The warmth and exquisite presence unique to antiques will transform your daily tea time into a special moment. As these are over 100 years old, minor scratches and signs of aging are present, but there are no noticeable cracks in the mother-of-pearl, and the blade plating retains a beautiful luster. It will be delivered in its original wooden box with a brass plate. 【Condition】 Appearance: ★★★★☆ Excellent condition with no notable scratches or stains Function: ★★★★☆ Minor wear, but almost no issues ・The mother-of-pearl handles are in beautiful condition with no cracks or chips ・The silver-plated blades show signs of wear but no peeling ・The ferrules bear British sterling silver hallmarks ・The knife blades feature the maker's hallmark ・The wooden case does not have a key but functions securely 　※Please note there may be minor scratches and stains not described here 　※Please check the photos before purchasing 【Details】 ・Maker: John Round & Son Ltd ・Year of Manufacture: Circa 1900 (Sheffield e-i) ・Material: Blades: Silver plated 　　　　Ferrules: Sterling silver (925/1000) 　　　　Handles: Mother-of-pearl 【Set Contents】 ・Knife x 12: Total length 203mm, weight approx. 46g x 12 (Total 551g) ・Fork x 12: Total length 167mm, weight approx. 32g x 12 (Total 383g) ※We only have one of this item in stock ※Please feel free to ask if you have any questions
