🏛️ Description
An exceptional Georgian sterling silver pierced fish server, handcrafted in London in 1817 by silversmith William Knight. Bearing the full set of early 19th-century hallmarks — crowned Leopard’s Head for London, Lion Passant for sterling standard, date letter “b” for 1817, and the King George III duty mark, this magnificent piece celebrates over 208 years of English silversmithing history.

The slice features an exquisite hand-pierced lattice design, a hallmark of late Georgian craftsmanship, combining aesthetic beauty and functional refinement. Its Fiddle pattern handle was a fashionable design during the Regency era (1811–1820), reflecting the elegant neoclassical taste of British high society.

✨ Condition

Excellent, near museum-quality condition.

No dents, bends, or repairs; the pierced section is crisp and perfectly intact.

Professionally cleaned and polished to a brilliant finish while preserving the antique patina.
