Elaborate silver and mother-of-pearl, silver plate flatware set. Original box with shield crest and fittings and was originally commissioned by The Earl of Tankerville of Chillington. It is comprised of 12 forks, 12 knives, two nut crackers, two nut picks, fruit scissors, two berry spoons and a large carving knife. This set is truly exquisite and from another time. This would have been used when dining was an art and one would have a course of fruit and nuts.
