It comprises more than 40 original pieces: a leather cased large manicure set, silver folding knife, ivory paper knife, several other leather pieces including a fitted velvet lined jewellery case, sketchbook, leather and glass inkwell, vesta case, pin cushion, card case (still with Mrs. Bertram's calling cards) and sewing kit.

The condition is very good, with just some very slight bruises to the silver tops of two of the bottles, and some denting to the top edge of the hand mirror.

A BEAUTIFULL FULL silver tea and coffee service by EDWARD HUTTON, London 1886

A COMPLETE and BEAUTIFULL FULL silver tea and coffee service by EDWARD HUTTON, London 1886. All pieces are fully stamped with the lion, EH and dated for 1886. My photos cannot show this lovely set properly. I have a record of just a similar coffepot that was sold at Halls fine art auctioneers on 21/11/2003 for £200 plus 15% premium, and it was not as nice a shape. This set is fresh to the market, as it came from a private house who had it in the family for many years.
