Summary[edit]

Description
Britain Loves Wikipedia at the Victoria and Albert Museum
Knife Case and Flatware
English: Knife Case and Flatware

Around 1775
London
Mahogany veneer with silver mounts
Cutlery - William Abdy, blades marked LOOKER

Knife cases stood on the sideboard, so that servants could set out fresh cutlery for each course. This box contains two sets of 12 knives and forks for the first course and for desserts, one carving knife and fork, and slots for six serving implements (missing). William Abdy was a specialist maker of hilts and handles. The cutlery may have been made by William Henry Looker, whose business was in Leadenhall Street.

Gift of Brigadier W. E. Clark CMG, DSO through The Art Fund
