About the Item

Set of 2 Elkington & Co. English sterling silver fish serving fork and knife from 1886 (Victorian era) with ornate engravings. The fork measures 10 1/4'' in length while the knife measures 13'' in length. Total weight is 10 troy ounces and hallmarks are shown. Elkington & Co. are one of the most important names in English silver. They began life in Birmingham as a company of silversmiths in 1836, and experimented with improving gilding techniques. By 1838 they had discovered and patented a new way to electroplate one metal onto the surface of another. The company received financial backing from Josiah Mason in 1842 and was extremely successful. It introduced electrotyping as a new method of production for silver. Elkington & Co exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851 with enormous success. Elkington held Royal Warrants for Queen Victoria, King Edward VI, King George V, King Edward VIII and King George VI. The Elkington & Co. name is still in use today as manufacturers under the auspices of British Silverware Ltd. Please feel free to ask us any questions, and please see our other listings. NO published price will beat ours. We hand polish all items before shipping them out, but if there is interest for a professional polishing, we can take care of that for an additional charge and with delayed shipping.
