Lot 316: An Assortment of Cased Flatware, a Silver-plated Toast Rack, and an Engine-turned Box

A collection of silver-plated and stainless steel tableware items including a cased cutlery service, a toast rack, and a table box.

The cutlery service is presented in a black rectangular case with a blue velvet-lined interior. It comprises several pieces of flatware featuring cream-coloured composite handles and stainless steel blades or tines. The interior of the case is fitted with printed labels in a white serif font identifying the compartments for TABLE FORKS, TABLE KNIVES, CHEESE KNIVES, and DESSERT FORKS.

The silver-plated toast rack is constructed with seven wirework dividers and a central scrolled handle, mounted on a base with a scalloped and chased border.

The rectangular table box is silver-plated and features a hinged lid decorated with a geometric engine-turned design. A central rectangular vacant cartouche is located on the lid. The box is lined and shows two small paper labels on the front edge; the upper label is white with blue borders and the handwritten numbers 12935, while the lower label is white with black printed text including SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS, LOT 316, and a barcode.
