The rims of these impressive antique sterling silver dishes are embellished with an applied gadroon decorated border.
The underside of each dish is ornamented with the impressive contemporary bright cut engraved initials 'AN' below a coronet.
These fine and impressive antique second course dishes were crafted by the renowned and collectable London silversmith Robert Sharp.

These antique silver dishes are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.
There are surface knife scratches to the wells in keeping with the age, as to be expected with such pieces.
