Viners of Sheffield Silver-Plated Dinnerware Set: Queen Anne Pattern, Pine Cabinet, 110 Pieces, Item No. DS048

✨From the famous British silversmiths Viners of Sheffield, this is an extraordinary 110-piece silver plated cutlery set in the timeless Queen Anne pattern.

The Queen Anne shell design originates from the early 18th century, a period known for elegance and refinement in dining culture. This set, however, was crafted by Viners around 1980, demonstrating the enduring appeal of this historical style.
