Large mixed group of silver-plated tablewares and flatware, late 19th to mid-20th century, combining a substantial Birks “Regency Plate” flatware service with additional Birks and related plated cutlery, together with six larger silver-plated service pieces. The flatware portion includes an approximately 25-piece Birks “Regency Plate” service with dinner forks, soup or table spoons, a sauce ladle, serving fork, cream ladle and small condiment spoon, retained in the original turquoise Birks felt storage roll, along with a further mixed lot of Birks and other silver-plated flatware including dinner forks, smaller forks, tablespoons, hollow-handled knives and other knives of related patterns.

Also included is a decorative group of six silver-plated service pieces in Victorian and Edwardian taste, comprising a champagne bucket, kettle-on-stand with burner, ornate teapot on stand with warmer, tall engraved hot-water jug, small tripod burner base, and a Victorian meat dome engraved with the initial “J.” A useful and visually impressive assemblage suited to table use, staging, decorative display, or polishing and restoration projects.
