Fra and Jessie Newbery had become close friends of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife Margaret. Between the period of 1900 to 1905 Mackintosh produced a series of designs for cutlery, and small scale silverward, both as commissions and as gifts for friends and family. Mackintosh's cutlery favoured tapered handles with simple raised or perforated decoration, Occasionally the recipient's monogram was incorporated onto the handle, however that is not the case here.
