Made in the UK
The classic Old English design has a timeless elegance that will never look out of place. Evolved from the Parish patterns popular in the 1750s, this range has been designed with balance, weight and timeless poise featuring a distinctive 'pip' on the handle exclusive to John Lewis that will complement any table setting. The distinctive ‘pip’ seen on the front of the fork handle appears on the reverse of the spoon, a nod to the Georgian era's inclination for placing spoons face down on the table.
This magnificent 24-piece set will create the perfect place setting for a group of six.

Brand information
Bringing you the art of cutlery and silverware since 1902, Arthur Price has over 100 years of experience in designing and manufacturing luxury cutlery and tableware.
Before founding the company Arthur Price spent 20 years working for other flatware companies around Birmingham. During this time he honed his skills, learnt about the flatware trade and began collecting second-hand machinery so he could start his own business with the family front room as his workshop.
As the business grew a factory was acquired and by 1911 products were being exported overseas, and were even supplied to the HMS Titanic. By the early 1920s Arthur Price had become the first company to products chromium-plate spoons and forks, which soon became stainless steel, and as a mark of their confidence and commitment to quality the company was also the first to provide guarantees against their products.
The business remains in the Price family, with the techniques of the trade being perfected over four generations. What hasn’t changed is the family ethos of putting quality design and craftsmanship over everything. These values are clear in all the collections available today.
