Offered here is a fine matching set of a butter knife and fork.

The knife measures approximately 6.75” long and the fork is 6.5”. Both are lightly engraved on the handles with an “M”. Both have elaborately decorated handles, and the knife is especially fine with fancy engraving that covers the top of the blade. These pieces are in fine condition.

John Henry Tyler was apprenticed about 1822 to William Mitchell in Richmond VA. He worked there from 1835-1845 as a silversmith in Mitchell’s shop at 108 West Main Street. Tyler became a partner in the business in 1845 when it was known as “MITCHELL & TYLER”. The firm was eminently successful, but was dissolved due to Samuel Mitchell’s ill health. From 1866-1879 the Richmond firm was known as “JOHN H. TYLER & Co.”

A very nice matching set from the William A. Turner collection.  [jet][ph:L]
