  • ColourSilver and Warm Brown
  • MotifsKings pattern, Shell terminal, Brass drop handles, Fitted velvet lining

The Kings pattern is a traditional ornate design introduced in the early 19th century, characterised by a shell and anthemion motif at the terminal and a stepped shoulder.

Victorian canteens typically feature sterling silver flatware housed in fitted wooden boxes made from mahogany, oak, or walnut, often lined with velvet or baize.

Authentic pieces are identified through British hallmarks stamped into the metal, which indicate the assay office, standard of silver, and date letter.

A silver canteen can be displayed as a statement decorative object on a sideboard or used functionally to add heritage texture to modern dining settings.

Silver should be washed gently in warm soapy water using a soft cloth and polished occasionally with a specialized silver polish, avoiding abrasive materials.
