Item Description
An exquisite and highly collectible example of fine British table dynamic from the golden age of Edwardian dining, this luxury asparagus serving set is executed in Mappin & Webb's prestigious proprietary Prince's Plate. Boasting an exceptional triple-deposit silver layer for superior durability and a brilliant, deep-lustre finish, this three-piece ensemble represents the pinnacle of late 19th to early 20th century craftsmanship.
Designed for the ultimatedining experience, the set features a heavy-gauge, polished serving basket flanked by elegant handles. It contains its original, entirely removable open-wirework drainage cradle, engineered beautifully to elevate the delicacy while allowing excess moisture and melted butter to drain beneath. Nestled seamlessly onto the tray is a perfectly proportioned, matching sauce boat for accompanying butter or hollandaise.
Bearing the exclusive factory pattern number W11177 alongside the historic "London & Sheffield" stamping, this rare survival encapsulates the height of country house entertaining. It remains as functional today as a statement centerpiece as it was at the turn of the century.
