Very Rare Set of Twenty Four Eighteenth Century Irish Silver Dessert Forks 1775 Michael Keating of Dublin

An extremely rare and fine set of twenty four old English/Hanoverian pattern dessert forks made in Dublin in 1775 by Michael Keating.The forks are of an excellent gauge and in superb condition.They are of a good generous size (eighteenth century dessert forks have a tendency to be on the small side).This is the earliest large set of Irish old English/Hanoverian pattern forks that I have seen ( we would be prepared to divide them up into two sets of twelve).Michael Keating was a fine Dublin silversmith who specialised in flatware.These are part of a large private collection of eighteenth century Irish forks that we have just purchased.
