VINTAGE
6 Dinner Knives
Sold
Six dinner knives, each blade either marked "W R Humphreys & Co, Cutlers Sheffield England" or “T E Rowbotham & Son, Cutlers Sheffield”. They are a combination of two sets, yet do match well.
A plate of good food is lost without a good knife and fork. Well-proportioned, well-balanced and beautifully designed flatware is a joy to use and is the making of a good meal. Our vintage ‘bone-handled’ knives are both good-looking and functional, and their renewed popularity make them a stylish addition on today’s table. Our knives have ivorine handles fashioned from xylonite, and have high-polished stainless steel blades. This elegant style of flatware was made from 1920 through to the 1950s in Sheffield England, which was then the heart of the world’s cutlery industry.
