About the Design

Oar pattern: 29cm in length, it boasts an intricate fretwork blade, showcasing the skill of its maker. The delicate openwork pattern is both decorative and functional, designed to serve fish or delicate food items with ease. The handle is sturdy yet refined, flowing naturally into the spring clip grip, which gently holds fish or place cuts in place when serving.

Typical of the George III period (1760–1819), this server combines  clean lines, symmetrical proportions, and thoughtful detailing to make it a striking addition to any collection of antique silver or fine dining accessories.
