Vintage Samuel Peace Sheffield England Stag Antler & Stainless Steel Carvery Set.

Original Box. Ix excellent vintage condition. Box whilst complete would benefit from a gentle and sympathetic clean of the interior.

Launched after the Second World War, Peace’s manufactured electro-plated nickel silver table cutlery, carving sets, cased goods, and apparently Bowies. In the Headford Street premises (shared with Percy Osborne and Frederick Beatson), the firm had two parallel workshops: one was for glazing and polishing knife blades (which were bought in); the other was for processing stag handles. ‘In the shop was a large cast iron fireplace and the pieces of stag were boiled in an old galvanised bath (around 3-foot from handle to handle). In it was the dye to make them all the same colour … the smell of the dying process was a bit acrid but wasn’t done on a daily basis’ (information from Vin Malone).

By the 1970s, Peace’s was based at Stag Works, John Street. The owners were brothers. One was D. K. Peace, who was a member of the UK Cutlery & Silverware Manufacturers’ Association. The firm traded into the 1980s, but apparently had ceased trading in cutlery by the 1990s.
