- Lot Description
Northern Europe, England, ca. 1760 to 1820 CE. A lovely set of 5 sterling silver Old English pattern dinner or table forks, each with 4 prongs and a flared stem. Two forks display a lovely letter "M" in Gothic script, which is likely stands for the surname of the family who owned them. All bear several hallmarks, 2 marks of which include a lion and a crowned jaguar, indicating that they are of sterling silver quality and made in London under King George III. Four forks show a right-facing figure in profile, which means they were made under the rule of King George III. One fork also has a maker's mark of "WS," while another has a maker's mark of "WF," and a third has one of "W." Other marks include "1," "C," and "O." Size (of largest): 7.8" L x 1" W (19.8 cm x 2.5 cm); Silver quality: 93%; Weight (all together): 202.2 grams
