Silverplate Asparagus Set
Walker & Hall
Circa 1903
This exquisite silverplated asparagus set was crafted by the esteemed silversmith firm Walker & Hall of Sheffield, England. Renowned for their refined craftsmanship and innovative designs, Walker & Hall dominated the realm of silver and electroplated wares during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This set, marked with the “A” quality stamp, signifies the highest standard of silverplating, ensuring its enduring beauty and functionality.
The set includes a stand with a raised wire-work serving rack and two sauceboats, both sat in frames with loop handles. The useful tray has two handles and is rained on four feet with intricate acanthus leaf motifs. The lustrous finish and balanced proportions enhance its visual appeal, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail for which Walker & Hall was celebrated.
Founded in Sheffield in the mid-19th century, Walker & Hall was among the foremost producers of silver and cutlery in England. The underside is marked with a lowercase upsilon in a type 3 shield, which aligns this set with circa 1903, a period when Sheffield’s silver industry thrived. This asparagus set exemplifies the artistry and utility that defined the firm’s legacy, combining timeless style with practical elegance.
