$150.00
Just in time for the height of shellfish season, we are pleased to offer this handsome Antique Silverplate Lobster Set from England in its original presentation case. Lined in a plush raspberry-hued velveteen, the box's upper lining reveals the name of esteemed Birmingham silversmith Elkington & Co.
The magnificent set includes handsome pliers for cracking even the most stubborn of lobster or crab shells, along with two elegant lobster forks. Embellished with a handsome crustacean, the forks allow careful extraction of every tender morsel from the shell. Marked with Elkington's earliest 20th stamp, this attractive and practical set promises to 'crack on' well into the next century.
Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. Circa 1910. In very good antique condition with very minimal signs of age. Box measures 11.25"W x 5.75"D x 2"H. Forks measure 9.75"L, Cracker measures 10"L.
