Boxed set of six silver-plated pastry forks

Description

Charming vintage boxed set of six silver-plated pastry forks, presented in their original fitted case with cream satin lining and black velvet interior. Each fork is marked EPNS (Electro Plated Nickel Silver), a traditional method of silver plating widely associated with quality British tableware production throughout the late Victorian and mid-20th century periods.

The forks feature a beautifully understated design with sleek tapering handles and subtle decorative detailing to the terminals, giving the set a refined mid-century aesthetic. Housed within their original red faux snakeskin-style presentation box, the overall effect feels wonderfully nostalgic, evocative of traditional English afternoon tea service and classic hostess ware.

EPNS cutlery became especially popular in Sheffield and Birmingham during the early-to-mid 20th century, where manufacturers produced elegant yet practical silver-plated wares for everyday entertaining. Comparable boxed pastry fork sets from the 1930s–1950s remain highly collectible today for their decorative appeal and usability.

The original case elevates the set considerably, making it ideal for gifting, display in a cabinet, or adding a refined vintage touch to modern table settings.
