A Rare Set of 6 Georgian Silver Knives

A superb and rather rare set of six silver knives, dating from the late 18th Century. The handles are hallmarked silver in Old English shape, with reeded panels. The size suggests that these were entree/cheese/dessert knives. Georgian knives rarely found as the early blades were often steel and consequently corroded, making a surviving set of six is quite a find. A wonderful and practical addition to an antique silver flatware canteen. Dimensions below.
