Set of 6 Antique Silver Handled Butter Knives

1900 - 1920
Description

A good example of a set of 6 antique butter knives with sterling silver handles and silver plated blades. They are good quality pieces with nicely shaped handles and decorative shell motifs.

Each piece is fully hallmarked for Sheffield, 1923 and the maker Harrison Fisher & Co.

They are in very good condition for their age. The handles have a few minor dents and dinks on and there is some minor wear around the edges of the blades however they display well as a set. They have been gently cleaned and polished and are ready for use.

The set comes in its original fitted box with a velvet and silk interior. The box is generally clean and tidy inside with some minor staining and wear to the silk bands on the hinges. The exterior is slightly warped on one corner and there are some light scuffs and marks around the edges but overall it displays well.

Approximate Measurements :

Length of Knife : 6 1/4" / 16cm

Box : 8" / 20cm x 6" / 15cm

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

A set of six antique butter knives sits inside a fitted storage box, originating from 1923 and made by Harrison Fisher & Co in Sheffield. The knives comprise sterling silver handles with silver-plated blades, detailed with shaped handles and decorative shell motifs, showing minor dents to the handles and slight wear on the blade edges. The storage box features a dark exterior with decorative patterned gold-coloured borders along the edges, and a clasp fastener at the front. Inside, the lid is lined with white gathered silk, while the base holds a dark blue velvet insert with six fitted slots for the cutlery, accompanied by visible minor staining and hinge wear on the silk bands. The entire box measures 20 cm wide by 15 cm deep, while each knife measures 16 cm in length. In a contemporary home, this boxed cutlery set suits use at the breakfast table or during afternoon tea for serving butter or preserves. The presentation case also allows the collection to be displayed on a sideboard, dresser or within a cabinet when not in service.
