Antique 1815 Georgian English Sterling Silver Fiddle Shell Serving Spoon
Regular price
$280.80
Presented is a fantastic Georgian English sterling silver serving spoon. This piece dates to 1815. The spoon is done in the popular 'fiddle and shell' design. The terminal has a nice crest of a tree stump and branch. The spoon is made from thick, heavy silver, with great craftsmanship. This piece has stood the test of time remarkably well, and is clean and completely useable today.
This piece is hallmarked on the stem with the lion passant for sterling silver, the leopard's head crowned for the city of London, the date letter U for 1815, the King George III head duty mark, and the maker's mark for William Eley and William Fearn.
This piece is in great condition. There is some surface wear, as we have not buffed these pieces. The details and the hallmarks are quite crisp. No dents, no splits, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The spoon is approximately 8 7/8 inches long.
This piece weighs 98 grams.
