The components of this antique service have been crafted by the London silversmith George Maudsley Jackson of Josiah Williams & Co in 1891; the components will have been crafted in the same year but due to the hallmarking system the items are struck with the date letters P and Q.

This antique cutlery set is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The Kings pattern cutlery ornamentation is very sharp.
Full hallmarks struck to the reverse of each piece are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine and impressive Victorian canteen.
