Set of Six Antique Silver Queens Pattern Knives

19th century
Description

These six knives are truly very special.

Manufactured in Sheffield, England by Henry Wilkinson and Co.

They are clearly hallmarked dating 1880 as the year of manufacture.

The silver handles of the knives are of substantial size and heavily embossed bearing the queens pattern decoration . There is a very faint monogram at the top of each knife, hardly visible, but I have blown a photograph up to ensure purchasers are aware of the monogram which I believe to be M.

The ferrules are also silver and hallmarked, as are the blades.

The blades are rounded tips

Each blade is magnificently engraved with a fish, I believe to be a salmon or trout. The detail is absolutely outstanding.

These knives are themselves, works of art.

The measure approx 24cm in length

The broadest tip of the blade is approx 2.5cm wide

The gross weight equals …434grams approx.

This is a rare and unique set of knives by Wilkinson.

In 1892 Wilkinson went in to liquidation and was purchased by walker and Hall, who continued to trade using Henry Wilkinson’s makers mark.

These are original 19th century/ victorian hallmarked silver knives by Henry Wilkinson.

Declaration

Antoinettes Heirlooms has dated these Antique Silver Fish Knives to the Victorian era.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Queens pattern is a classic nineteenth-century flatware design derived from the Kings pattern, featuring intricate anthemion scrolls, shell motifs, and rich foliate ornamentation along the handle contours.

Victorian fish knives were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, selected because silver does not react chemically or alter the taste when contacting fish sauces and acid.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for silver purity, a makers mark, a town mark, and a date letter.

Incorporate antique silver knives into contemporary table settings by pairing ornate flatware with neutral linen napkins, plain ceramics, and modern stemware to create a textured, layered aesthetic.

Wash silver cutlery by hand using mild soapy water immediately after use, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth, and clean periodically using a specialized non-abrasive silver polish to mitigate oxidisation.
