Hanoverian Rattail Pattern

Hanoverian Rattail was first in fashion between 1710 and 1730 and has been reproduced since the 1880’s. It was the first flatware pattern in the UK to be used for complete canteens. Due to its elegant lines and proportions it has continued to enjoy great popularity and is probably the most sought-after traditional pattern. The front of each piece has a distinctive central ridge, and the trademark rattail extension to the handle can be seen on the reverse side.
