Serving pieces in gleaming silverplate complete the set - luxurious grape shears, and a pair of sturdy nut crackers along with a pair of exquisite berry spoons embossed with a profusion of fronds and fruits, then gilded to protect the precious silver from fruit acids.
Produced by the renowned silversmiths at Walker & Hall, this stunning set was originally intended for use with a fruit or dessert course, but is also ideal for appetizers, salads, a light lunch, even breakfast - any time more the slightly more petite proportions of the knife and fork would be welcome.
