Gorgeous Silver Plated Victorian Sardine Fork with Mother of Pearl Handle
This gorgeous, antique 5 tine Sardine fork, would have graced any self respecting Victorian's dining table. Silver plated it would have been used formally, to effortlessly serve the notoriously boney little fish, as its flat shape and small 'prongs' stopped the fish flaking apart before it reached the plate (or mouth) of its guests!
We adore its beautiful floral pattern and mother of pearl handle and feel it's most functional design, would work equally well for serving tapas, or other 'small plates' today, in a more modern setting!

Buyers Guide:
It is very important to note, that all the pieces Roof + Roof sell are genuine pieces of age, each having a rich and varied past and are never sold as in new condition. With this in mind, minor blemishes, surface scratches, manufacturing flaws and a general sense of their age and history are naturally to be expected. We always try, to the best of our ability to honestly and clearly communicate an items condition, both in our description and photography, highlighting anything over and above what we perceive as ‘general age related wear and tear'. We kindly ask you look closely at all our photos, using the zoom facility, as these naturally form part of the item's description.
Please be aware that your monitor, tablet, or mobile device may emulate colours/tones differently 'on screen' to that of the actual physical item, all of which are photographed and shown to the best of our abilities. Any item/prop shown in our photography is used for styling purposes only. Prior to purchasing, if you would like further clarification on any item, then we are always happy to help in any way possible.
