The silver-gilt knife, fork, and spoon, made in London
in 1691, are contained in the pierced silver case, the whole fitting into
its original shagreen travelling case shown on the left of the picture. Although there are a few other examples of these little picnic sets we do not know
of any other with its contemporary travelling case.
