Sterling Silver Flatware was almost mandatory when setting a suitable dining room during the period of around 1840 to 1940 in the United States and Europe. Because of this, there was a considerable growth in silver manufacturers that started up during that time span.
The pinnacle of the silver rage was during the 50-year period of time from 1870 to 1920. Flatware lines sometimes consisted of up to 100 different kinds of pieces. Also during this time, the dining graduated from the traditional three course dinners up to ten or more. There was a soup course, a salad course, a fruit course, a cheese course, an antipasto course, a fish course, the main course and a pastry or dessert course.
Individual eating implements often included forks (dinner fork, place fork, salad fork, pastry fork, shrimp or cocktail fork), spoons (teaspoon, coffee spoon, demitasse spoon, bouillon spoon, gumbo soup spoon, iced tea spoon) and knives (dinner knife, place knife, butter spreader, fruit knife, cheese knife). This was particularly accurate during the Victorian period of time, when etiquette ordered that no food should be handled with your fingers.
