An assortment of silver-plated tableware, primarily constructed from electroplated nickel silver (EPNS). The collection includes a large mechanical table lighter of cylindrical form with a side-mounted trigger mechanism. Also included is a condiment service comprising three mustard pots with hinged lids and two shakers. Accompanying these are several condiment spoons featuring decorative scrolled terminals in a pattern resembling the King’s or Shell style. The bases of the pieces bear stamped hallmarks, including the letters EPNS arranged in a four-part shield, the word BROS within a rectangular cartouche, and a single gothic-style character P inside a shield. These markings are characteristic of British silver plate manufacturers from the late 19th to mid-20th century.
