Sterling Silver Kings Pattern 44-Piece Cutlery Set

This 44-piece sterling silver Kings Pattern harlequin flatware set unites over a century of craftsmanship into one curated, characterful service. With its shell and scroll detailing, the iconic Kings Pattern instantly lends a sense of ceremony to both formal dining and elevated everyday meals.

The antique silver component spans the early to mid-19th century. Five dinner forks by James McKay (1844) anchor the set, joined by seven dessert forks from Francis Higgins II (1897) and further pieces by McKay (1844), all in the same richly detailed pattern. Nine dessert spoons by George Bell (1833) and a maker marked “PH” (1848) add beautifully balanced bowls with the soft patina of age, while a single serving spoon by McKay (1844) is ideal for shared dishes and plated desserts. Seven teaspoons by Findlay & Field (1855) and George White (1848) complete the sterling component, taking the set seamlessly from breakfast through to after-dinner coffee.

To ensure effortless performance at the modern table, the silver is complemented by newly made knives. Seven dinner knives (stainless steel blades, 2004) by Pinder Brothers and eight dessert knives (stainless steel blades, 2004) echo the traditional pattern while providing sharp, reliable cutting edges. The result is a practical, ready-to-use service that combines the romance and individuality of assembled antique silver with the ease and durability of contemporary knives.

Perfect for a six- to eight-place setting with flexibility for additional guests, this Kings Pattern harlequin flatware set offers both history and usability. It is an heirloom-worthy collection designed to bring depth, character and a quietly regal presence to every table it graces.
