Product Description
A charming piece of early Australian tableware, this silver plate bread fork was crafted by Stokes & Sons for the prestigious retailer Stewart Dawson & Co, dating to circa 1920. The elegant elongated form is topped with a distinctive kangaroo finial — a delightful nod to Australian identity that elevates this otherwise classic serving utensil into a piece of subtle Australiana. Traditionally used for serving bread rolls, pastries, or small cakes, the fork reflects the refined dining rituals of the early 20th century. With its dual maker and retailer provenance and decorative national motif, it offers both practical appeal and collectible interest for lovers of antique silver and Australian heritage pieces.
