An elegant and substantial set of twelve antique sterling silver cocktail forks by W.N. Jenkins, distinguished by their pierced openwork handles and refined proportions. The design draws on Gothic and quatrefoil motifs, lending architectural delicacy to an otherwise utilitarian form.
Crafted in solid sterling silver and stamped accordingly, these forks were traditionally used for olives, hors d’oeuvres, and cocktail service, and remain equally suited for contemporary entertaining. The set is presented in its original felt-lined roll, offering both protection and a sense of ritual storage.
A rare and cohesive service from an American maker, ideal for collectors of antique silver or for those who favor understated, design-forward tableware with history and presence.
