Discover a truly charming and highly collectible vintage Apostle silver-plated cutlery set, proudly hailing from England. This complete 13-piece ensemble is a superb find for enthusiasts of antique silverware and decorative pieces. The set comprises six beautifully detailed Apostle-figure spoons, six matching Apostle-figure dessert or pastry forks, and an elegant sugar tong, which also features the distinctive Apostle design on both sides. Each piece is clearly marked "EPNS" (Electro-Plated Nickel Silver) and "England," confirming its quality silver-plated finish and British heritage. The iconic Apostle design, featuring distinct figures at the top of each handle, is renowned for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, making these sets particularly sought-after by collectors, especially here in South Africa.
This exceptional set is presented in its original fitted case, adding to its authenticity and protection. The case boasts attractive brass hardware throughout, including the hinges and clasps, while a soft satin lining with velvet trims perfectly cradles each individual piece. The overall condition of the cutlery itself is very good, showing only the gentle wear one would expect from a beloved vintage item that has seen careful previous use. The silver plating remains largely intact, still showcasing the "Finest Finish" as indicated by the original label.
