A charming late-Victorian dessert/pastry fork, measuring approximately 16 cm in length and weighing 35.3 grams. The fork features a finely carved mother of pearl handle with sterling silver ferrule and terminal, both fully hallmarked. Assay Office: Sheffield. Date Letter: 1898. Maker: Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co. (William Gibson & John Lawrence Langman). Length: c. 16 cm. Weight: 35.3 g. Materials: Sterling silver and mother of pearl. This type of fork would have formed part of a high-quality dessert or pastry service, popular among well-to-do Victorian households.
