A Regal Touch for the Table

Bring a little pomp to your pudding course. This gleaming English serving set, with its ornate scallop-handled design and embossed bowls of fruit and vine, was made to take center stage at the Sunday table. Whether you're dishing up salad, pears poached in wine or a flourish of berries and cream, this is how the Victorians made the everyday feel like a banquet.

A Set with a Story

Crafted in England in the late 19th to early 20th century, this silverplate serving pair is a classic example of the King’s Pattern—a design beloved for its bold shell motif and dignified scrollwork. The bowls are decorated with richly embossed fruits: pineapple, grapes and pomegranates among swirling leaves and vines, echoing the abundance and flourish of high Victorian entertaining.

These were not utilitarian pieces. They were made to impress guests, mark celebrations and elevate even the simplest fare.
