DescriptionThis is a Worcester "Knife Handle Formal Daisy" pattern fork handle. It is pistol-shaped and painted on either side with a floral spray. The terminal has an elaborate scroll-edged lambrequin device on the spine and a less elaborate scrolling pendant on the underside beneath an insect and repeated below the neck as a border.
