Sheffield 1995 by Carrs

The Service

A great opportunity to own a complete and good quality silver canteen of cutlery in the extremely popular Hanoverian Rattail pattern.

This is a straight (same date & maker) service that provides for seven pieces per 12 place settings with additional serving spoons. All pieces are appropriately hallmarked for Sheffield 1995 Carrs with the knives having stainless steel blades. All pieces benefit from being in excellent condition with no personalised engravings.

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.
