Generously sized with handles worked in .950 silver with roses and acanthus leaves. The large oval cartouche on each piece has not been monogrammed. A lovely set just in time for your Thanksgiving table.

The pattern is slightly different on the salad servers but roses and acanthus leaf design is very close to the pieces. The originals may have been replaced. They bear a different maker’s punch than the knife, fork, and bone holder. Still they work together beautifully.
