A set of six solid sterling silver lobster or seafood picks dating from 1930, made in the Art Deco style by Suckling Ltd and retailed by Leete & Son of Newcastle on Tyne. Each silver pick features a two-pronged tip and a spatula base, and carries full hallmarks for Birmingham 1932 alongside the maker's mark. The set is housed in an original presentation box with brass-toned hardware fasteners at the edges and hinges, lined with black velvet and cream silk in the interior lid. The lined lid bears stamped retailer text in black ink. The fitted presentation case measures 13.3 cm high, 16.2 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep. This collection of dining accessories works well on a sideboard top or in a dining room display cabinet for entertaining guests at seafood dinners, or for collectors of vintage silverware. The presentation box shows typical age-related wear to the dark exterior surfaces.

FAQs

Introduced during the late Victorian and early twentieth-century eras, specialised seafood picks were crafted to assist diners with extracting meat from shellfish during formal multi-course meals.

These pieces were commonly manufactured from electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) or sterling silver, often presented in velvet-lined and silk-lined leatherette storage boxes.

Authentic items from this period typically feature maker marks, such as EPNS stamps or specific manufacturer initials, alongside clean geometric proportions characteristic of Art Deco design.

The open case can be displayed on a sideboard top or drinks trolley as a decorative accent, or the utensils can be integrated into formal dining table settings.

Gently wipe the picks using a soft silver-polishing cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads that could strip the outer plating.
