Every handle carries raised scrollwork, and the forks and spoons finish in a pierced, lace-like tip, so the table looks laid for an occasion before a single dish comes out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo plain steel that vanishes against a white cloth. Twenty-four pieces in one pattern, so all six places match from the first course to coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandles with detail you can see from across the table\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost everyday cutlery has a flat, plain handle that nobody looks at twice. Here each one carries a raised pattern of scrolls and a small rose, worked into the steel toward the end of the handle and catching the light as the piece turns in your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forks and both spoons open out into a cut-through tip, so you see the cloth or the plate through the pattern. The dinner knife keeps a closed tip instead, embossed with the same scrolls in relief, which balances the set without breaking the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder all of it the steel is polished to a mirror finish, so the set looks just as good laid out under candlelight at Christmas as it does on a Sunday lunch table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour full-size pieces at each of six places\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach setting gets a dinner knife, a dinner fork, a tablespoon and a teaspoon. The knife runs a little over 9 inches long with fine serrations toward the tip, which help with roast meat and steak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fork has four long tines, and the fork and tablespoon are both around 8 inches long, so nothing looks undersized beside a dinner plate. The teaspoon is generous too, at over 6 inches, which suits dessert as well as coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll 24 pieces arrive held in place by straps inside a lined case with a carry handle and a clasp. Between dinners the set goes back into the case rather than loose in a drawer, and the case makes it easy to give as a wedding or housewarming present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold or silver, in the same pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold is the warmer of the two and suits cream linen, candles and a dark red or green table at Christmas.
