Description

A superb pair of unusual English Victorian antique solid sterling silver cutlery rests. They are hallmarked for Sheffield 1894 with the maker being Harrison Brothers & Howson (Henry Harrison). They have been superbly made of sterling silver mounted antler tips - possibly hunting trophies. They are in superb condition being free from dings splits and repairs, one is smoother than the other - I assume the stag used some points more than others? They measure approx. 4.25 inches (10.8cm) long and have a combined weight of 52 grams. Very good quality unusual examples.

Declaration

The Silver Squirrel has dated these Silver Antler Cutlery Rests to the Victorian era.

Cutlery rests became popular during the Victorian era to keep carving knives and forks elevated off the tablecloth between courses, preventing grease stains on fine linens during formal dinners.

Traditional rests were crafted from sterling silver, plate, porcelain, glass, or natural materials such as deer antler and horn, often mounted with metal terminals.

Authentic pieces feature clear British hallmarks stamped directly onto the silver components, indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark.

They can be displayed on a dining table centre or sideboard as conversational tabletop objects, blending traditional craftsmanship with eclectic dining decor.

Silver should be cleaned gently using a specialist microfibre cloth and mild silver polish, avoiding harsh abrasives that could wear down the hallmarks or natural horn texture.
