Scottish Victorian Silverplate Serving Set

Found at market earlier this year, we were very ecstatic to discover this exquisite Scottish Victorian Silverplate Serving Set from renowned jeweller and engraver David MacGregor. The four-piece set includes two lacy and delicate serving spoons for fruit or whipped cream, grape shears and a darling sugar sifter, perfectly proportioned to sprinkle a final dash of extra sweetness. Prominently featuring finely engraved depictions of native songbirds, this magnificent grouping nestles securely upon a regal blue velveteen within its original presentation case. Trained by top artisans in 1850s Edinburgh, MacGregor eventually set up premises in his own name as a goldsmith, jeweler and engraver. Benefitting greatly from the revival of interest in all things Scottish through Queen Victoria's love for the country, the firm attained a level of prestige with awards for excellence at international exhibitions in Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as the Royal Warrant granted by the Queen in 1893.
