19thC Victorian Cased Silver Plated Nutcracker and Picks Set

This is a lovely Antique Victorian Cased Silver Plated nutcracker and picks set made for Dipple & Sons Norwich.

The quality set comprised of a pair of reversible nutcrackers (for different nuts and sizes of nuts) and a pair of nut picks contained in its original case with a silk velvet-lined fitted case.

It is hard to precisely date these but Dipple came to Norwich in 1894 and having researched these in-depth I consider them to be made around 1900 (give or take 10 years)

I did find a similar set online which was catagorically stated as being Victorian and was sold as such.

Add this lovely set to your collection and/or to use at your dining table.

Dipples itself is nearly 140 years old. The jewellery business was originally founded in 1878 in Woodford, Essex, by George Henry Dipple. George did not stay in Woodford for very long as by 1890 he is no longer registered as living in Woodford. Between 1888 and 1890 the business was relocated to Ipswich. The jewellery store made a final move to Norwich around 1894 and has been located in Swan Lane every since.
