The Fiddle pattern was the dominant flatware pattern in Great Britain in the 19th century. However, it came from a French pattern which had a thread edge design near the border. In Great Britain, this pattern became known as Fiddle & Thread and it quickly became quite popular. The pattern worked quite well with both elaborate and elegant tableware as well as those that are very simple in design.
