Sir John Bennett Cheapside Cutlery Set

This is a vintage cased set of Sir John Bennett Cheapside fruit knives and forks. The set comprises six knives and six forks, each featuring beautifully crafted handles hallmarked with sterling silver. The handles exhibit a classic, fluted design, and the blades and tines are made of stainless steel, offering a pleasing contrast. The set is presented in its original fitted case, lined with a faded gold silk or satin.

Condition and Collectibility

The set shows signs of age and use, with some surface wear and minor tarnishing to the silver handles, consistent with its vintage nature. The case itself displays wear and tear, with some fading and damage to the lining. Despite these imperfections, the set remains a desirable piece for collectors of antique silverware, particularly those interested in the Sir John Bennett Cheapside pattern. The hallmarked silver handles add to its value and authenticity.
