拍品專文

Hanoverian pattern flatware became popular following the accession of the King George I (r.1714-1720). The change in fashion meant an innovation in design of knife and cutlery forks. The handles 'adopted a curled end, not unlike that of a contemporary pistol' (S. Moore, Cutlery for the Table: A History of British Table and Pocket Cutlery, Porthmadog, 1999, p. 207), and became the standard shape until around 1780.
