"Royal Oak Gold Plate" cutlery is the epitome of elegance. Hidden beneath the handles is a design reference to the historical "kings pattern", which is plated with 24 carat gold. The cutlery can be laid on the table as normal, or have a few, or all pieces turned over in the "continental style" to show a subtle yet stunning opulence.
The Royal Oak is the name given to the oak tree in which King Charles II of England hid from the roundheads following the battle of Worcester in 1651. An ancient oak, which is thought to be from an acorn from the original, still stands at Boscobel in Shropshire.
Royal Oak gold plate is made using the finest quality 18/10 stainless steel and plated with 24 carat gold, and is available in mirror finish only.
