This sterling silver large pierced cold meat serving fork is Reed & Barton’s elegant Francis I pattern, introduced in 1907; this piece is elegantly decorated with a Renaissance inspired pattern incorporating scrollwork, leaves, blossoms, and fruit. The fork measures approximately 9 inches with the earlier 1907 Reed & Barton eagle, R, lion, and sterling stamps on the underside of the handle.
