Description

A charming vintage cased set of six pastry forks. Each fork is crafted from Electro-Plated Nickel Silver (EPNS) and marked with 'EPNS' and 'MADE IN ENGLAND', with additional visible hallmarks indicating a Sheffield origin. The forks feature a classic, elegant design. They are housed in their original presentation case, which is finished with a faux lizard-skin pattern exterior and lined with black velvet, with a cream satin-like material under the lid. The set is complete and well-suited for dessert or tea service.

Condition Report

The EPNS forks show tarnishing and surface scratches consistent with age and use. The presentation case exhibits some wear to the exterior, including minor scuffs and marks, and the interior velvet lining shows light wear.
