R. Wallace & Sons Sterling Silver Cold Meat Fork, circa 1900
A beautifully preserved sterling silver cold meat fork by R. Wallace & Sons, dating to approximately the turn of the 20th century (circa 1900). This elegant three-tine serving fork showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of one of America's most celebrated silversmiths.
The handle features exquisite repousse scroll and floral work with a raised decorative shoulder, hallmarks of the ornate Victorian and Edwardian aesthetic. The oval cartouche on the handle bears a hand-engraved Old English script monogram "B" — a charming period detail that speaks to its original ownership and history.
Hallmarked STERLING on the reverse, confirming solid sterling silver composition — not silverplate.
