A Victorian and George V Scottish Silver Table-Service
by Hamilton and Inches, Edinburgh, 1898 and 1911

Each piece marked on handle as expected. There is some wear to the marks but they are generally clear. There is some surface scratching and wear, consistent with age and use. The similar dessert-fork is not engraved with an initial, the other items are engraved, possibly later, with an initial 'D'.

The teaspoons are 1898, the remaining items are 1911.

We are happy to provide Condition Reports to Prospective Buyers, but would welcome your request as soon as possible, preferably at least 48 hours before the Day of Sale.

We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a condition report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition.

 A Condition Report is an honest expression of our opinion, not a statement of fact and is provided as a service to the Seller. All lots are available on public view ahead of an auction and we encourage people to see an item in person when possible.

Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers, and are prepared with the naked eye unless otherwise stated.

 Works are not examined out of the frame, unless specifically stated. We accept no liability for the opinions expressed in any Condition Report.

Tennants Auctioneers do not cover damage to gilded wood or plaster picture frames, or to picture frame glass whilst the item is in our possession.
