An Extremely Rare Set of 12 Georgian Irish Silver Dinner Forks

A rare set of twelve Irish silver table/dinner forks. With so much antique flatware scrapped and melted in current times, a surviving set of twelve in Old English and Thread pattern is an extremely rare find. These are a fine matching set and are double struck (pattern front and back). There is a handsome armorial engraved to the top back of the shank. Table or dinner forks from this period are always in great demand, particularly Irish examples and these are heavy quality and good gauge. Dimensions below.
