The fiddle pattern is one of the most popular and enduring designs in antique silver flatware. It was first introduced in the early 19th century and quickly became a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts. It was created by a number of different manufacturers, but it is often attributed to the silversmith William Eley, who was known for his work with the fiddle pattern.

The fiddle pattern features a narrow, slightly curved handle with a pointed tip, which resembles the shape of a violin or fiddle. The pattern is characterized by its simplicity and elegance, with a timeless design that has remained popular for over two centuries.

The design of the fiddle pattern was influenced by the prevailing trends of the time, which emphasized simplicity and functionality. The narrow, curved handle made the flatware easy to hold and use, while the pointed tip added a touch of elegance and sophistication.
