Description:

A genuine matching pair of Victorian solid sterling silver table forks, fully London hallmarked and dating to the 1860s. Together they weigh an impressive 106.2 grams, making these a seriously chunky pair with strong bullion value as well as proper antique appeal.

The crowned duty mark confirms pre-1890 manufacture, firmly placing these in the Victorian period. With over 98g of pure silver content, these forks hold a powerful scrap floor while still being ideal for:

• Antique tableware collectors

• Period dining replacement

• Silver stackers

• Display or interior styling

Matching Victorian pairs like this are becoming increasingly hard to find — especially at this weight.
