Auction house commission:

A vintage cutlery set by W&H Sheffield, featuring handles likely crafted from Bakelite. This collection comprises assorted cutlery, including forks, knives, and spoons, neatly arranged within a rustic, light-toned wooden compartmentalized caddy. The cutlery features uniform cream to deep yellow-patinated handles, paired with silver-toned metal blades, tines, and bowls. Visible markings on several knife blades read ‘W&H SHEFFIELD NON-STAIN STEEL’, indicating a manufacturer and the specific alloy, suggesting an early to mid-20th-century origin, consistent with 1930s Bakelite production. Additionally, a stylized script ‘B’ monogram is visible on some handles.
