A boxed set of exquisite pearl handled knives and forks made by A. Hadfield, Sheffield, England, with date mark for 1847-48. This twelve piece luncheon set has solid silver blades and tines, seldom seen in pearl handled ware. Knives are eight inches and forks nearly seven inches.

Handles have a delicately carved border, and all are in excellent condition. All pieces bear proper English Sterling markings. The period mahogany case measures ten by eleven and one half inches and has a lock. I seldom see pearl handled sets that have solid silver tines and blades.
