An extensive collection of mixed flatware and cutlery, predominantly in the Victorian and Edwardian styles. The pieces feature a variety of handle materials including bone, ivorine, and mother-of-pearl. The metal components are primarily silver-plated (EPNS), with some pieces potentially in stainless steel. The assortment includes dinner and dessert knives and forks, and specialized fish eaters consisting of knives and forks with foliate and scroll-work engraving to the blades and tines. Serving implements are present, notably a large engraved fish server and a cake slice. Other items within the lot include various spoons such as teaspoons, a pair of nutcrackers, and pickle forks. Many items are fitted with decorative metal ferrules at the join between the handle and the metal blade or tines. Various maker’s marks and trade marks are visible on several pieces, including one knife blade with letters appearing to read BODON and others marked with characteristic EPNS silver-plate stamps.
