Ornate handles and delicate form distinguish this set of late 19th century Meriden Britannia silver plate nut picks. Crafted in the United States by one of the era’s most respected silver manufacturers, each pick reflects the refinement and attention to detail that made Meriden Britannia renowned on both sides of the Atlantic.

The intricate handle designs capture the Victorian love of ornament, while the polished tips speak to both beauty and function. Once an essential element of the genteel table, these nut picks remain perfectly suited for serving roasted nuts or shellfish, and today also bring a touch of Old World grace when displayed as part of a silver collection. A testament to American craftsmanship in the age of elegance, they offer a tangible link to the rituals of 19th century entertaining.
