Children’s Hallmarked Silver Cutlery Set | 1858 Victorian Martin, Hall & Co.

Why we chose it: There’s a quiet elegance to this little set — silver made for a child, yet crafted with the same care and detail as any grand table service. The hallmarks tell us it was made in Sheffield in 1858, but the design speaks for itself: refined, balanced, and made to last. It’s easy to imagine it once wrapped as a christening gift or laid out for a special occasion, cherished from the beginning and kept safe ever since. A small, beautiful piece of the past.
